A quirky light-hearted and funny crime novel with a hint of romance. The perfect antidote to bring you cheer in the long gloomy days of winter, or for an easy summer holiday read.
After the death of her domineering father, Janet James was looking forward to getting her life back on track, free at last from all cares and worries. Unfortunately for her though life doesn’t always run to plan, and when the police in the form of the odious DCI Billings start sniffing around suspecting foul play, things go from bad to worse. Will young DC Bryson be able to keep his boss in check and prevent any possible miscarriages of justice or is Janet really as guilty as his boss believes?
As the plot unfolds around Janet and her little West Highland dog Paisley, a host of colourful characters are introduced with over-zealous 'neighbourhood watchdogs', eccentric old ladies, inept policemen and vagrants. Social aspects are touched on such as family relationships, women's role in society, health issues and care homes for the elderly; and several leisure pursuits are introduced such as canals, heritage steam railways and photography.
