Review:
"San Francisco Chronicle Book Review" Barnards writes revealing glimpses of English character and impropriety with an effortless hand.

"Pittsburgh Post-Gazette" No two Barnard books fall into a pattern. Barnard's terse prose and deft character painting keep us engrossed to the very last line.

"Time" He plots a mystery as well as any writer alive.

"New York Newsday" Barnard is the Jane Austen of mystery writers.
From the Back Cover:

The body of a young man, almost naked, in the car park behind one of Haworth's many eating establishments marks the beginning of the case, and it is his identity that is the first puzzle for DC Charlie Peace and his superior Detective Superintendent Oddie.

But before long the puzzle that most concerns them is the nature of the close-knit artistic community where Declan O'Hearn had acted as odd-job boy. The little knot of people seem to be united less by their ability as painters than by a common worship of the distinguished artist Ranulph Byatt, who has not only brought them together, but seems to prefer the adulation of his inferiors to the judgement of his equals. Peace, searching for clues, soon starts to wonder if there isn't a sinister reason for this. And as the search for the killer gathers pace, Peace and Oddie uncover a series of dark secrets on the harsh Haworth landscape.

Atmospheric, witty and perceptive, 'The Corpse at the Haworth Tandoori' is vintage Robert Barnard.
