Description

A thrilling new whodunnit series, fast-paced and funny, featuring a detective as sharp as his suits and a heroine who’s trouble.

The compelling new mystery featuring Bridges and George has them taking on a haunting new case that will leave them doubting their judgement, and even their own eyes and ears.

When the body of a Russian millionaire is found dead in the grounds of a grand home in Oxford, DI Leo George immediately suspects foul play. The death once again brings him into contact with Jess Bridges, an investigator of missing persons with the uncanny knack for sniffing out trouble, and just as often the cause of it herself.

Housesitting in the empty property next door, Jess is drawn into the investigation and the pair soon realize that there has been a nasty feud festering behind the grand facades of Oxford’s elite homeowners. When another body is found, Leo and Jess find themselves pulled into a mystery that will take them to a very dark place, and bring them closer than they have ever been before…

    I’ve read a couple of the earlier novels and liked enough to continue the series and read this one, but won’t bother with any others. Got bored about 3/4 through, and gave up. Too cutesy, too silly and too hard to care about Jess, the protagonist. If the editors had done away with the oversexed and unappealing aspects of the main character and her ridiculous and tiresome double entendres, I could have liked her. Not my cup of tea.
