The Vows of Silence, Susan Hill

Read in paperback, borrowed from one of the ladies at work.

The cover of the book proclaims "The New Simon Serrailler Novel".  Not having read any of the previous ones I was a bit dubious about this book, but it turned out that you needn't have read any of the other books, as characters' biographical details were filled in as and when required.

A rogue gunman (or is there more than one?) is terrorising the women of sleepy cathedral town, Lafferton. Can Simon solve the crime before the imminent arrival of the Royals for the Lord Lieutenant's daughter's wedding, whilst wrestling with a tragedy unfolding within his own family.

I did guess the twist before the end. But this book was enjoyable and pacey.  They've got the first two novels on offer as a bundle on Amazon, so I'll probably download those and give them a go.
