About this listen

Jo told him the phone call had been about a woman who wanted to have her husband declared dead. Smith thought for a moment and then said, 'Hmm. There must be a few million women in this country who feel like that. I take it her husband's been missing for a while and she's decided it's time to move on. In the absence of a body, which is always a nuisance, she wants Diver and Diver to confirm there's no proof he's alive. And I've told Jason a dozen times I'm not getting involved in anything matrimonial. I have enough trouble sorting out my own relationships.'

But on this occasion Smith has it wrong. The insurance company which will have to pay out a very substantial amount of money if Amanda Fitch obtains her certificate of presumed death has engaged Diver and Diver Associates to look into the disappearance of Gerald Fitch, more than five years ago now. As Jason Diver says, he has the very man for the job. All he has to do is to persuade that man to take it on.

Another Excellent Book

Yet another brilliant book. I had to listen to it all in one day. Please don't leave it too long before the next instalment off the DC story.

Another great story

So well written and narrated. Likeable characters blended with very unlikeable rogues. The continuity throughout the series with people and places revisited kept me involved and interested right from the beginning.
Cannot recommend this author highly enough.

Brilliant!

I enjoyed books 1 to 5 so much and the reading that I bought the last ones because I couldn't bear to wait for my audible subscription to catch up. Thank you Peter Grainger and Gildart Jackson and Audible.

Great Series

I enjoyed the whole series of these books, original stories, narration that really fits the characters and storylines that run through the series. This story kept me interested right to the end and I felt a bit sad to leave Smith and Jo at the end. I hope there will be more

Continuation of a brilliant series

I adore these books and this one did not disappoint. Perhaps Smith as PI makes for a more one-dimensional narrative than when he worked with his whole team, but the humanity, thoughtfulness, and intricacy are all still there.

Superb!

As always, the performance, the storyline, the sardonic tone - all wonderful. I’ll sorely miss DC when I come to the last in the series.

Great story, well narrated

Excellent narration, as expected, but better than expected story. Love the pace, direction of travel and fact that Peter Grainger’s stories rarely feature women being hurt by men.
