Book First Edition
Original Boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Impression. With dustjacket (price-clipped) in plastic protective cover. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. ; "Wycliffe and the Beales" is a novel by W. J. Burley that falls within the British detective genre, featuring the introspective and methodical Detective Superintendent Charles Wycliffe. This book, like others in the Wycliffe series, is set against the backdrop of the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall, which adds a rich, atmospheric setting to the narrative. In this installment, Wycliffe investigates the complex dynamics of the Beale family, wealthy and influential figures in their small community, whose lives are disrupted by a series of disturbing events. The plot thickens with the discovery of a body, leading Wycliffe into a web of family secrets, deceit, and hidden resentments. Burley excels in character development, presenting a cast of well-drawn characters, each with their own motivations and secrets. The Beale family, with its intricate relationships and historical complexities, is particularly compelling. Wycliffe, as always, is a fascinating protagonist. His quiet, thoughtful approach to solving crimes, focusing on understanding human nature and motives, makes him stand out among detective characters. The narrative is engaging, with a steady pace that builds suspense as the investigation unfolds. Burley's writing style is clear and descriptive, adept at creating vivid imagery of the Cornish landscape, which almost serves as another character in the story. The plot is well-constructed, with enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing, but it s the deep dive into the psychological aspects of crime that really sets the novel apart. One of the strengths of "Wycliffe and the Beales" is its exploration of themes such as family loyalty, the impact of the past on the present, and the lengths people will go to protect their secrets. The resolution is satisfying, offering a conclusion that is both surprising and plausible, true to the book's attention to the complexities of human behavior. In summary, "Wycliffe and the Beales" is a must-read for fans of British detective fiction, offering an intriguing mystery, well-developed characters, and a deep psychological insight. W. J. Burley continues to impress with his ability to weave complex narratives that not only entertain but also provoke thought about the nature of crime and justice. ; 20 x 13 x 1.9 cms; 184 pages.
