The Carousel of Time

The fifth DI Garibaldi Novel. O'Keeffe is a rising star in the Cozy Crime Genre.

'A first class mystery Bernard O Keeffe is on a roll to the big time.' - Daily Mail. 'Perfect comfort reading.' - The Times. 'An enthralling mix of mystery and murder.' - Mail on Sunday. 'Cosy yet cleverly menacing, this fifth DI Garibaldi novel delivers classic whodunnit pleasures with a nostalgic twist, proving once again that even the most genteel London enclaves can harbour lethal grudges and long-buried secrets.' - Lisa Howells, Heat Crime Monthly. What goes around comes around. Every summer four friends gather at Barnes Fair to ride the carousel in memory of Esther, the school friend they lost in a car crash they were all involved in as teenagers. This year, the morning after the fair, one of those friends, Shelley Gregory, is found murdered on that very carousel. DI Garibaldi has questions to ask. Who killed Shelley, and why there? Is her death linked to the tragedy the friends commemorate each year, or do the answers lie closer to home in the quiet Thameside village of Barnes, where Shelley was well known but not always well liked? As Garibaldi pieces together the events of that summer night, he uncovers dark undercurrents beneath Barnes s genteel surface and begins to see the truth: what goes around comes around when you ride the carousel of time.
