A New York Times Editors' Choice Praise for The Finisher "A peerlessly plotted mystery." -- The New York Times "Lovesey is careful to remind us that Bath holds hidden secrets behind its gracious Georgian architecture . . . Light and dark imagery is a fixture of Lovesey's Bath novels, in which life is lived on many levels, some in full sunshine and others buried in shadow." --The New York Times Book Review "Mr. Lovesey, a veteran master of mayhem and misdirection, laces ominous suspense with wit. The Finishe r showcases his enduring abilities in this, his 50th year writing crime fiction." --Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal "Tight plotting and supple prose." --Adam Woog, The Seattle Times "[Lovesey] has created a brisk, colorful page-turner centered on murder and mayhem at the springtime half-marathon in the city of Bath." --The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Peter Lovesey's storytelling skills, and certainly his gift for constructing a fair play puzzle, match those of the finest exponents of Golden Age fiction." --Martin Edwards "Masterly, atmospheric . . . On the 50th anniversary of the publication of his first novel, Lovesey is still going strong." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Peter Lovesey is one of the world's best crime novelists, and one of the best historians of running . . .

And how refreshing to hear the inimitable Diamond erupt in righteous 'F-- forensics. . . . We're detectives. . . . We investigate.'" --The Wall Street Journal "Lovesey plant[s] clever clues, a big surprise and a tense climax in the labyrinthine ruins of the town's Roman baths." --The Seattle Times "We're treated to Lovesey's enchanting style . . . urbane wordplay and sucker-punch plotting. Don't believe anyone who says, 'I knew it all along.'" --Booklist "Rich with history of the scenic area of Bath, England, and laced with wit, danger, pathos, love and loss . . . A delightful summer escape from the drumbeat of real-world events." --BookReporter, A Seattle Times Best Crime Novel of 2020 A New York Times Editors' Choice The Strand Magazine Best Novel of 2020 Praise for The Finisher "A peerlessly plotted mystery." -- The New York Times "Lovesey is careful to remind us that Bath holds hidden secrets behind its gracious Georgian architecture . . .

Synopsis
On the 50th anniversary of the publication of his first novel, Peter Lovesey, Mystery Writers of America Grand Master and titan of the British detective novel, returns to the subject of his very first mystery--running. Through a particularly ill-fated series of events, couch potato Maeve Kelly, an elementary school teacher whose mother always assured her "curvy" girls shouldn't waste their time trying to be fit, has been forced to sign up for the Other Half, Bath's springtime half marathon. The training is brutal, but she must disprove her mother and collect pledges for her aunt's beloved charity. What Maeve doesn't know is just how vicious some of the other runners are. Meanwhile, Detective Peter Diamond is tasked with crowd control on the raucous day of the race--and catches sight of a violent criminal he put away a decade ago, and who very much seems to be up to his old tricks now that he is paroled. Diamond's hackles are already up when he learns that one of the runners never crossed the finish line and disappeared without a trace. Was Diamond a spectator to murder?

- v***v (2070)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
