Killing the Lawyers

I enjoyed Killing the Lawyers by Reginald Hill which is set in a town in England.  PI Joe Sixsmith is learning his new occupation after being made redundant from his factory job. He is a quirky character who owns a cat called Whitey and an aunt called Mirabelle.  When Joe receives a letter from an insurance lawyer declining his claim for his damaged vehicle, Joe goes to see the lawyer in question.  Unfortunately, shortly thereafter there is a tragic incident.  Joe is questioned and he tries to find out how this happened.  On another case Joe investigates who is behind threats to a young local athlete telling her to "throw" a race.  There are many suspects for this one. An easy read.  31/2/5
