Beschreibung des Verlags
A seemingly idyllic English holiday park turns into the scene of a grisly murder and a perplexing case for Lambert & Hook.
Twin Lakes is a tranquil place. It is a complex of holiday homes in a particularly beautiful part of England. 'Rest Assured', says the sign at its entrance. And the people fortunate to occupy the luxury homes on the site 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 as spring moves into summer and the site is seen at its best. But suddenly a brutal death shatters the peace of this quiet place. As Lambert and Hook and the murder team investigate the crime, it emerges that the victim was by no means as innocent as most people thought him. And it seems that many of the residents lead far from ordinary lives and have secrets they will do anything to keep concealed . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Twin Lakes Country Holiday Park, located in a rural area of England near the Welsh border, provides the setting for Gregson's engaging 27th Lambert and Hook procedural (after 2013's Cry of the Children). On unofficial business, Det. Sgt. Bert Hook tries to allay the fears of Lisa and Jason Ramsbottom, who have been receiving anonymous threatening notes on the doorstep of their second home in Twin Lakes. When reclusive Wally Keane, who lives year-round at Twin Lakes with his busybody wife, turns up dead in the woods, Hook, along with Det. Chief Supt. John Lambert, must visit the residents of the community on official police business. The two coppers soon determine that no love was lost between Wally and his neighbors. As cracks begin to show in the suspects' various alibis, they must determine what Wally was really doing while spending long hours at his computer. Gregson keeps readers guessing until the very end.
