A Series of Murders (2012)

Cover A Series of Murders
Authors:
Genres: Fiction
Was there an elite band of dedicated men whose sole mission was to scour London for boys’ clubs and rugby clubs and church halls and drill halls that passed the stringent tests of suitability for their purpose? How many potential venues were rejected on the grounds of being too comfortable or insufficiently dispiriting? How many were rejected for being too convenient for public transport or because they had adequate parking? How many failed selection because they were actually congenial places ...in which to spend one’s time?
The conjectural band of searchers had clearly excelled themselves when they found the St. John Chrysostom Mission for Vagrants Lesser Hall, in which the rehearsals for Stanislas Braid took place. This was the apotheosis of the television rehearsal room, the one for which every other hall in London must have been rejected.
Situated a good twenty minutes’ walk from the nearest tube station, jammed in an alley between a cement works and a timber yard, whose lorries were a perpetual hazard to anyone foolish enough to risk leaving their car outside, the Lesser Hall’s high windows were so begrimed that what light did filter through had an unhealthy, diluted pallor about it.
