Synopsis

Gurney Close isn’t the sort of place where anything untoward should happen. It’s just a small, newly-built cul-de-sac with three nice houses and a bungalow overlooking the river Wye. The people who move in – three married couples and a divorcee – don’t expect much excitement beyond some neighbourhood friendliness. With this in mind, they organise a party to celebrate moving in. Everything goes well and a good time is had by all – until one of them is found dead the next morning. Lambert and Hook are faced with a baffling crime. Their harmless, ordinary victim turns out to have a darker past than they could have suspected.

Very good book. Well written and pretty accurate. I ended up giving my Thoroughbred the show name Foxglove because of this book. It holds a special place in my heart and ignited my imagination.......more

This wasn't a particularly strong volume, but I always enjoy Parker's books. It was nice to see some character development on Parker's end. He was annoyed for the majority of this book but it made sense because his parents are nuts.......more
