Pauline Bell – “Under Fire”

 
Under Fire is the latest in the series of crime novels involving a Yorkshire Town Police Force with Inspector Benny Mitchell. The town, Cloughton, is basically Halifax. A pleasant read but with a rather predictable outcome.
I normally scan in the cover of a library book before returning it. In this case I didn’t bother because I was sure it would be illustrated on either Fantastic Fiction or Amazon. It wasn’t! So no picture.

PAULINE BELL, born 1938, is a former Halifax teacher, turned crime writer. She has three grown-up children, one, usefully, a police constable married to a detective. She enjoys singing, walking in the Dales and reading other people's crime novels.
