In separate locations in Staffordshire, three separate tableaux are being played out. DI Joanna Piercy is writing to her lover to try and explain recent events; her sidekick Mike Korpanski is filling in insurance forms after his wife has had a prang in the car; and an unknown person is penning love letters to a local doctor.

It seems that no one could lead a more mundane life than Beatrice Pennington. Unexciting; mid-forties; married; a part-time librarian; grown-up kids; her life appears unremarkable. But then drama unfolds around her... Crime Fiction Detective Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Fiction Emotions Marriage

What could Priscilla Masters have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

She appears to have a very shaky grasp of police procedure, for some that wouldn't be an issue but as ex job it grated on me. Perhaps she should learn more to help with the portrayal of the police

Any additional comments?

A good tale, well read but with big errors in the way the police operate. This is a personal niggle so hopefully wont put off anybody else in listening to it. If however you know a thing or two about procedure, you will be irritated. A minor gripe.

Judith Boyd can narrate the now (almost) defunct phone book and I'd listen. Her tone, timing, and how she interprets characters is just exceptional. This story benefits from her talents. Once the characters were introduced in chapter one, the mystery started. I enjoyed it and was intrigued by the personal stories of the characters. It’s a slow burner and moves along a measured pace, definitely not a high action thriller! Recommend but persevere through chapter one.

Persevere, in Chapter 2 it comes alive

It took nearly half the book to get started and I almost gave up. I persevered and wished I had not bothered. I have enjoyed Priscilla Masters other books, but I will not be looking for another in this series.

Far too long winded
