Summary

A pleasant stroll in the park, catch-ups over coffee, and...a body among the spring bulbs?

Single mom and school historian Beth Haldane has promised her new beau, Detective Harry York, that her sleuthing days are behind her. But when she stumbles over the body of local artist Mark Smeaton while ambling in the park, it’s clear a dangerous killer is on the loose in peaceful Dulwich Village. Shocked, Beth can’t resist delving into the mystery.

Snooping around the nearby cozy cafes, Beth listens carefully to gossip and soon learns Mark's graffiti-style art was famously controversial. There are plenty who might want him gone. Was it the suspiciously charming gallery owner? A disgruntled resident offended by Mark’s art? Or an old school chum with a dark secret about Mark’s true inspiration?

A dinner party hosted by a dear friend soon gives Beth the chance to grill all her suspects over wine and nibbles. But following a lead back to the scene of the crime, Beth’s search of a hollow tree throws up a mysterious envelope that stops her in her tracks.... Will her sleuthing get her in hot water before she can find the villain and before there’s another fatal plot in the park?

This book was previously published as Revenge on the Rye.

This was a really good book

I'm not going to lie I miss the naughty words! Books one, two and I think three had f@#k in them and I do like a book with realistic speech and words. Alice Castle can write a very compelling book, this one isn't as heavy as some of the previous ones. This felt a little lighter in subject matter. The setup of a Banksy style artist was great. Imogen Church's performance as the narrator is absolutely wonderful as always. She is so much fun, she brings so much charisma to the characters. However there wasn't a big laugh out loud moment in this book I felt. Which was a bit disappointing. There have been some great ones whether it's Jake saying he learnt about sperm at school at the dinner table, or her friend shouting out "that's a sex face!" I binged this in two days. Which seems to be a pattern for me when I listen to a good book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
