Synopsis

Twin Lakes is a complex of holiday homes in a scenic part of England. “Rest Assured”, says the sign at its entrance. And the people fortunate enough to occupy the luxury homes are indeed able to relax in a beautiful setting. Then a series of mysterious threatening notes are delivered to one of the lakeside homes. DS Bert Hook conducts an informal investigation and the notes cease to appear. All is peaceful once more until a brutal death shatters the peace.

And it seems that many of the residents have secrets they will do anything to keep concealed…

This is the kind of book that just fades into my memory because it just didn't have much to offer. While it's setting the scene quite well and the characters are well developed, the plot pattered along like a meaningless little creek. The story could have been much shorter and some of the side plots......more
