Summary
Date with Justice, the ninth novel in Julia's Chapman's witty and engaging Dales Detective series, sees Delilah's brother under suspicion of murder. Can Delilah and Samson prove he's innocent?
The Dales Detective Agency is on the brink of closure.
Samson O’Brien has returned to his position as an undercover operative for the Met in London, and his relationship with sleuthing partner Delilah Metcalfe is under pressure.
Their troubles are only multiplied when an ecologist is found dead and the finger of blame is pointed firmly at Delilah’s older brother, Will.
It seems an open and shut case. An argument over an ecology report for planning permission which got out of hand, with Will known to have a hot temper. But Delilah won’t accept he’s guilty and neither will Samson.
Dropping everything, he returns to Bruncliffe to help prove Will’s innocence. But as the two detectives start digging, they unearth more than they bargained for and soon realize that the price of justice can be very costly indeed.
Following on from Date With Evil, this heart-warming and wittily charming novel is perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Robert Thorogood and cosy crime at its very best.

Totally invested
I loved these stories from the very first book. I love to listen to a book and these are just perfectly done. The narrator is spot on and the story is so believable and gripping. Just the right balance of comedy and crime, such easy listening.
I’m going to be waiting for the next instalment like a kid before Christmas!

Absolutely Wonderful, as always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As with the previous books, I have mostly listened to this with a huge smile on face, or laughing out loud. Apart from the part where I had tears of emotion welling up in my eyes - no spoilers here though!
Fantastic writing, with amazing plotting and attention to detail, as we've come to love from Julia Chapman, once again brought to life by the sublime voice acting skills of Elizabeth Bower.
I know there is one more book in the works (likely the last in the series), so I shall look forward to another amazing visit to Bruncliffe next year 😄❤️

Loved this latest book
I loved the latest ‘Date with’ book. There are 3 generations in my family that read/listen to this series . The quirky characters are brilliant, especially Ida and George. I don’t want this series to end.

The characters and the plot.
Nothing to dislike. The area was depicted perfectly.
Hope Julia will write more books in the series.
