About this ebook

A MURDER SWEPT UNDER THE VERY EXPENSIVE CARPET

The Sixth Book of the Acclaimed Rowland Sinclair Mysteries

The black sheep of a wealthy 1930s grazier dynasty, gentleman artist Rowland Sinclair often takes matters into his own hands. When the matter is murder, there are consequences.

For nearly fourteen years, Rowland has tried to forget, but now the past has returned. A newly-discovered gun casts light on a family secret long kept... a murder the Sinclairs would prefer stayed unsolved.

As old wounds tear open, the dogged loyalty of Rowland’s inappropriate companions is all that stands between him and the consequences of a brutal murder... one he simply failed to mention.

    Australia, murder, historical-places-events, historical-research, historical-figures, historical-setting 1933 in Australia where the political scene is uncertain and the world around is polarizing into some frightening camps. Rowland shares his large home with fellow misfits and continues to grow as a artist. It is a family history, and by necessity it is also a segment of Australia's part in world history. Whatever else it is, it is a riveting book in a fascinating series! This one centers about the unpublicized murder of Rowley's father and the fallout from it. The author is awesome, the series is additive, and Rowley is just so lifelike. Hope the next one comes out soon! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you!

    This mystery was sent to me by the publisher Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you.In this novel Rowland Sinclair and his friends are not traveling the world. In fact, the entire plot is focused on Rowly and his immediate family. During a vast gardening project on the family estate where Rowly’s elder brother Wilfred and his family live, the gun that killed their father 13 years earlier is discovered . Originally, the murderer of Henry Sinclair was presumed to be a burglar since some valuable silver went missing. But when the silver is found with the murder weapon, the police decide to reopen the cold case. Thanks to some anonymous calls that point the police to witnesses not interviewed in the initial investigation, it becomes apparent that an inhabitant of Oaklea is the most likely suspect and Rowly, fifteen at the time of his father’s death, had the best motive for wanting his father dead. While Rowly and Wilfred try to clear up the mess, another murder occurs which only seems to strengthen the case against Rowly. In addition, someone tries to shoot Rowly and injures his dog instead. Even Rowly’s personal life is in turmoil. He can’t seem to convince Lucy Bennett, his sister-in-law’s best friend, that he is not in love with her. His mother is even more delusional than usual. And Arthur Sinclair, his disinherited first cousin, seems intent on insinuating himself in the family circle and the family businesses.This, in my opinion, is the strongest novel in the Sinclair canon. Not only is the mystery outstanding, but the characters are really fleshed out. Rowly’s painful childhood is revealed in all of its horror and the strained relationship between Rowly and Wilfred is explained very satisfactorily. Highly recommended.
