When Death Calls

Hidden Norfolk, Book 16

By: J M Dalgliesh

Narrated by: Greg Patmore

Blood is thicker than water... and runs just as freely...

When the body of a man is discovered face down one morning in the swimming pool of his upmarket family home, the team wonder if it is the result of a tragic accident or serious foul play.

DI Tom Janssen is currently suspended pending the outcome of the events at the close of his previous case. Using the time away from the office to consider his future, and how this will impact on his family life, Tom is invited to attend a school reunion which he reluctantly agrees to. Coming face to face with people he hasn't seen in years leads to more than a reunion of old friendships. Some people find it hard to let go of the past while others foster long-held grudges. It isn't long before Tom finds old feuds rekindled and scores that aim to be settled... one way or another.

Finding himself at the centre of a murder inquiry — only this time as a witness rather than an investigator — can he steer clear of the case or will temptation, and a search for the truth, be too much for him to ignore. When Death Calls is the sixteenth novel in the Hidden Norfolk crime series by the multi-million selling British crime writer, JM Dalgliesh, the author of the Misty Isle and Dark Yorkshire books. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Damien Boyd, LJ Ross, Rachel McLean and Simon McCleave.

Gotta love Tom and the gang

Another great book from Dalgliesh which seems hard for some authors when they get to book 16 or even 10 of their series. But JM has crafted a great story and one that had me guessing till the end. Changing the perspective a bit with Tom still on imposed leave and as a witness instead of investigator. Of course we all knew he would…could not stay on the bench for long!!
