Six Feet Under by Colin Garrow
A murder victim, a deserted airfield, a sinister project. Can Terry untangle the mystery before someone else dies?
Asked to investigate the death of a building contractor, taxi-driver and amateur sleuth Terry Bell thinks the dead man’s widow may be wasting her money. But when the trail leads to an old airfield and a brace of brutal thugs, he begins to wonder what they’re trying to hide. Tracking down one of the builder’s former workmates, Terry finds him unwilling to answer questions. When the man is beaten up, the canny cabbie gets a visit from his favourite detective inspector. But DI Charis Brown and her latest sidekick seem determined not to get involved. Until the man is attacked again…
In this murder/mystery series set on England's northeast coast, Six Feet Under is book #4 in the Terry Bell Mystery series.

Review
Once again Colin Garrow has written a belter of book! I love Terry and how he bumbles into trouble all the time. Part-time taxi driver and part time investigator but now he has a reputation to live up to! This time he is asked by a local builders wife to investigate her husbands death as she is sure it was murder. This leads Terry to a deserted airfield where there are abandoned tunnels from the war when suddenly he is attacked by an unknown foe! Classic Terry.
I love the narrative in this one but then the thought of those tunnels fascinated me! The writing of the tunnels section was amazing as I could feel the fear and claustrophobia scream off the pages. But what makes these books are the relationships between Terry and his amazing beau Carol and DI Charis who always has to pick up the pieces. I really enjoyed see how Terry and Carol are developing their romance and it’s maturing as the series continues. All the supporting cast are brilliant formed and written as well. But it’s also the northern humour and feeling of these books which I love. I feel as if I am coming home when I am reading these books. I am definitely a Terry convert now! Roll on the next one Colin!
