A review by pgchuis
Date with Malice by Julia Chapman
4.0
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.
3.5* rounded up.
This follows on from the first in the series, just a few weeks later in time, so none of the overarching background stories (Samson's suspension and possible danger from his job in London, what Rick Proctor is doing at Samson's old home, Samson's living situation, Deliilah's ex etc etc) have moved on at all. There are two mysteries here: what happened to a missing ram, and (more seriously) what is going on at the retirement complex where Samson's dad is living. Despite the seriousness of what happens to the residents, there is something of the romp about the investigation. Delilah does the odd bit of work on her businesses, but mainly operates as Samson's sidekick.
Entertaining in a cozy way, but slow in places.
