Publisher's summary

Sir Roger Parkes is a man of some influence in the West Country. When he loses touch with his youngest daughter, he has a word with the Assistant Chief Constable of the local force. It's not a police matter, he is told, but if Sir Roger wants to pursue it privately, there is a lady who might be able to help-two of them, actually.

As far as Summer Lane is concerned, she has enough problems without going into the investigations business with her next door neighbor; Mrs. Emily Willows's problems all seem to center around the fact that her neighbor is refusing to go into the investigations business with her. They have reached, it seems, an impasse. Until, that is, Emily notices that someone has left a message on her answering machine . . .

Enjoyable Listening

The story is predictable, I enjoyed the narrator. It was an leasy listen, as I am tired of really graphic mysteries.

Enjoyed it so much, listened twice

Great character development. Great characters. Hope there will be more Lane, Nick, Robby and Flynn in the future. Narrator was spot on with accents, even Shelly the American.

Was surprised there were a couple of negative reviews. Will say I had to listen closely to follow the timeline. Lost some elements while walking the dog which is why I enjoyed listening a second time.

A fun and exciting read.

I hope this book is a preview of more novels that include this expanding cast of characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to exciting conclusion. The narrator and her narration were both superb and flawless.

Peter Grainger never disappoints! I love the Dc Smith novels best, but now I love these too.

Love the characters!

I sure hope we will get a book 4! I just love Peter Grainger’s writing style- If you have not read DC Smith books I highly recommend.

Great read

I really liked the characters in this book. It’s easy to get attached to the characters and through them the story line! If I’m bored with a book I read the ending and move on. In this case I listened to the end. The narrator was excellent!

Great second book in the series

Good character development, excellent plot. Would like a little more ends tied up at the conclusion. But- use your imagination.
