REVIEWS:
'This cleverly-plotted tale has plenty of humour. It's another page-turner from Geraldine Evans and is crime writing at its best. A must for all lovers of the genre.' Mystery People

'Evans concocts a plausible story with unforeseen plot twists, believable characters, and a satisfying ending. Solid fare for fans of British procedurals.' Emily Melton, Booklist

A most unlikely murderer, was DI Joe Rafferty's immediate thought when the slender and bloodied Felicity Raine stumbled into the police station reception and confessed to killing her husband.

He thought her even more unlikely a murderer when he met her in-laws and caught them out in several deceits. There was something peculiar going on, he was convinced. Because although Felicity wasn't down to receive any financial benefit from her husband's death, others in the Raine family were. Was one of them attempting to set Felicity up to take the rap?

Unfortunately, Rafferty's championing of the lovely Felicity seems to have stirred some jealousy on the home front. Has he blotted his copybook once too often? he wonders, when Abra, his live-in girlfriend, takes herself off to Wales citing the cover-all of 'family problems' as her reason. Perhaps, he thinks, he should look beneath the surface with Abra, as he has been advised to do in his murder investigation.

He can only hope that what he discovers in his personal life isn't as unpleasant as what has been laid bare in his latest case.

REVIEWS:
'Proficient writing, an inventive plot, and Evans' usual well-crafted procedural detail make this sixth entry in the Rafferty series a good choice for readers who can't get enough of British coppers.' Emily Melton, Booklist

'Evans brings wit and insight to this tale of looking for love in all the wrong places.'  Kirkus Reviews

Detective Inspector Joe Rafferty manages to become chief suspect in his own double murder investigation. And all he’d been doing was looking for love…

It had been his sergeant's wedding that had brought home to him that, far from still being the 'Jack the Lad' of old, he was not only lonely, but in danger of turning into a sad old git. So, with his fortieth birthday on the horizon, he decides it's time to take the initiative.

To this end, he signs up with the Made in Heaven dating agency. Wary of his colleagues discovering his shameful secret, he persuades his more up-market cousin to let him borrow his identity. It's just unfortunate that the first two women with whom he strikes up a rapport should wind up murdered and with himself - or rather his alter ego - in the frame for the crimes.

Put in charge of the double murder investigation, Rafferty foresees plenty of difficulties ahead. Not least how he is to conduct the case without the witnesses pointing the finger and saying: 'But that's HIM. That's Nigel Blythe. The MURDERER!'

'It's bad enough being suspected of a double murder, worse still when it's your alter ego being pursued and it's the pits when you are the policeman in charge of supposedly catching yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed Dying For You , the sixth in the series. A lot of humour is injected in Rafferty's narrative. He's got himself in an impossible situation and one wonders what can go wrong next. I savoured this book and I'm keen to read the rest in the series asap.' Eurocrime

Thanks for the blogs Geraldine...I am VERY tempted to get a kindle but even with the lure of free books can I betray paper!? You'll be pleased to know that you are next on my reading list!! I've just started a Lee Child novel after his talk at the UEA- very entertaining, action packed and easy to read! Unlike Wolf Hall- too clever for its own good!!! or perhaps, I'm simply not clever enough!!

Great! Hope you enjoy whichever one/s of mine you get.

Yes, Lee Child WAS very entertaining. Wish I could speak as fluently. My memory's so poor I always have to have lengthy notes. Rather reduces the spontaneity!
