Books like His Burial Too (Inspector Sloan #5) by Catherine Aird
At 11:30 p.m. the old Saxon church tower at Randall’s Bridge alarms Inspector C. D. Sloan when a massive statue tumbles, breaking marble blocks and sealing the entrance. Inside, a lone window bars exit; the only evidence of the crime is a protruding arm, a spent match, an emerald earring, and a black thread. How did the murderer escape? Sloan must unravel the puzzle within the tower’s confining walls.
