Goodbye, Sweet William
(1959)(The second book in the Inspector Swinton Australian Mystery series)
A novel by Pat Flower
A gripping murder mystery with some unusual twists! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M.C. Beaton, Lee Strauss and P.C. James.
It’s impossible for a man to be killed three times … isn’t it?
Sydney, 1959
When Detective Inspector Herbert Swinton is called in to investigate the murder of William Flecker at a sophisticated house party, there’s no shortage of suspects. A well-known writer and notorious casanova, William was charming, charismatic, and utterly self-centred.
But it’s the first time Swinton has dealt with a murder case where three separate attempts have been made on the victim’s life…
As Swinton and his sidekick Detective Sergeant Primrose delve into William’s jaded social set, they uncover a tangled web of toxic friendship, career envy and forbidden lust. It seems everyone at the party had a reason to want William out of the way…
But when a second body is discovered – with no apparent motive for murder – suddenly all Swinton’s theories look set to fly out of the window.
And life – and death – have their ways of fooling even an experienced detective…
GOODBYE, SWEET WILLIAM is an enigmatic historical murder mystery by prolific Australian crime writer Pat Flower. It is the second book in the Inspector Swinton Mystery series.
