Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
1. Sergeant Cluff Stands Firm
‘He could feel it in the blackness, a difference in atmosphere, a sense of evil, of things hidden.’
Amy Snowden, in middle age, has long since settled into a lonely life in the Yorkshire town of Gunnarshaw, until – to her neighbours’ surprise – she suddenly marries a much younger man. Months later, Amy is found dead – apparently by her own hand – and her husband, Wright, has disappeared. Sergeant Caleb Cluff – silent, watchful, a man at home in the bleak moorland landscape of Gunnarshaw – must find the truth about the couple’s unlikely marriage, and solve the riddle of Amy’s death.
2. The Methods of Sergeant Cluff
After battling for justice, at great personal risk, in his first recorded case, Sergeant Caleb Cluff made a swift return to duty in this book. The story opens one wet and windy night, with the discovery of a young woman’s corpse, lying face down on the cobblestones of a passageway in the Yorkshire town of Gunnarshaw. The deceased is Jane Trundle, an attractive girl who worked as an assistant in a chemist’s shop. She yearned for the good life, and Cluff finds more money in her handbag than she would have earned in wages. There are echoes of Sherlock Holmes (‘You know my methods, Watson’) in the title, and in an exchange in the first chapter between Cluff and Superintendent Patterson, but Cluff is very much his own man. Little that goes on in and around the mean streets of Gunnarshaw escapes him. He is scornful of detectives who rely solely on supposed facts: ‘More than facts were in question here, the intangible, invisible passions of human beings.’ Understanding those passions leads him gradually towards the truth about Jane’s murder.
