About this listen

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 . . .

Thought the story was very good and well balanced. There was a sense of realistic jeopardy without it being over the top.

Best of the series so far

I really liked how the story built, and the exploration of the continuing relationship of the main characters. Maybe dial down on the references to Emily’s age, she may be retired but it’s only just and therefore she really isn’t ‘elderly’ at all, but has been called that rather a lot. Contrary to some comments I’ve seen, I thought the narrator was engaging and slipped into different accents with ease.

Well written, tense, but you always feel Lane has got this!

Outstanding listen

However, I did find it a bit confusing at the beginning with the jumping back and forth, but it sorted itself out. Looking forward to the next instalment I hope!

Love these stories

As a massive fan of DC Smith, because it is so well written and the narration is OUTSTANDING, I found these books dissappointing. Firstly the narration, I found it made it difficult to listen, and, as a result, cannot tell if the story is well written or not. In my view Peter Grainger and Gerdalt Jackson are a marriage made in heaven and they have become one of my favourite ever audible listens. So understand that is hard to follow. The readering can make or break an author.

not a patch on the DC Smith series

I have enjoyed listening to this series of books and hope there will be more very soon. I really enjoy Peter Grainger’s books, and love all the characters. Regarding the narration by Henrietta Meire, she has a very pleasant voice, and very good diction, but I wish she wouldn’t try to use accents, as her attempts are not good!

Very enjoyable listen

Very enjoyable- all three so far in this series. Great plots, great narration. Another winner from Peter Grainger !

Hope for more of these books 😃
