This is my first Palmer-Jones book, though the 7th in the series. It stands well on its own. I enjoyed this book a lot, as much as I'd enjoyed Cleeves' 'Vera Stanhope' series.

The Mill on the Shore by Ann Cleeves
Blurb
When Jimmy Morrissey, England's celebrated conservation conscience, kills himself with an overdose of antidepressants, the whole country mourns with his grieving widow. But private investigators Molly and George Palmer-Jones are convinced that what looks like suicide is really murder.
After all, Jimmy made a lot of enemies while crusading as an environmental activist. Could one of them have been his wife?
My Opinion
With plenty of time spent in the car, I have now listened to two of these audiobooks in quick succession. With new characters in each book with the exception of George and Molly, each can easily be read as a standalone and the series is great to dip in and out of.
George has been asked to look into whether a suicide was actually a suicide, of course it turns out to be a murder and I have to say that I had many suspicions as to who the murderer was but in this case I have to say that I didn't guess it. Whilst difficult to connect with any of the characters it was an easy book to listen to and a rather enjoyable tale.
Rating 4/5
