The Third Sin

by Aline Templeton

Overview

Pleasure is the highest good: the Cyrenaics practised the principle until the death of one from an overdose and the apparent suicide of another. Sobered, the group went their several ways. One heads to Canada, another disappears and a third is believed to have committed suicide, at least until his body turns up two years later in the wreck of a car swept up on to the Solway mud flats.
DI Marjory Fleming finds the case on her own patch, obstructed by the unpleasant and resentful Inspector she has been asked to direct, and DC Hepburn and DS Macdonald, still at loggerheads, don't make it any easier.

Editorial Reviews

"The result is a classic police procedural, excellently executed, with close attention to the details of the investigation. The glorious western Scotland landscape is vividly portrayed too. But the novel’s greatest strength lies in the characters... It’s taken me a while to discover Aline Templeton, and I’m glad The Third Sin finally gave me the opportunity to do so. Hers is a backlist I’ll take great pleasure in exploring."
