After an accident Private Detective Kate Marshall meets Jean in hospital, where she learns of the mysterious disappearance of her grandson 11 years earlier. Jean soon decides to ask Kate to take on the case and help to find her grandson’s whereabouts and why he disappeared.
An interesting crime thriller, it started slowly but soon picked up pace with various twists and turns. This book would be good for someone who likes murder mysteries like Midsomer Murders. Unfortunately there were a lot of old fashioned cliches and stereotypical characters, which really grated on me. Ade was definitely my favourite character by far. The book was fine, but just not particularly to my taste, I prefer a more up to date style of mystery.
This is part of book series, but works perfectly fine as a stand alone.
The narrator was fine, the characters and accents were good, but I couldn’t really get on with her general narrative style.
