Summary

The launch of a new exhibit at Bexford museum is derailed when Brock and Poole discover a body in its midst. With rumors of a lost treasure, a confusing array of suspects, and a personal stake in the case, they must focus to find their culprit. Which isn't going to be easy....

Detective Sergeant Guy Poole is dreading confronting his mother with the truth and faces losing a second parent from his life. Detective Inspector Sam Brock's life is changing, and there are big decisions to make for the future. Can they untangle the web of mystery to find their killer?

easy listening with humour and mystery

A mix of characters with the conflicts not overwhelming. It has minimal gore and gangster action. The plot is enough to engage the brain.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as a pleasurable change from the more graphic crime novels that I've read.

I've seen 'cosy' as descriptor and I agree with that

relationships between the characters

while I enjoy most of the interactions between the characters, I despair of the need to have such unpleasant, snide and unfair whinging ones who are meant to be on the same side but are just plain nasty.

enjoyable

I like the characters and the side stories about pooles parents and brocks wife add interest but they are too short but still I enjoyed all of them very much.

entertaining

Lightweight as intended but engaging characters and an interesting plot. Certainly a pleasure in having light hearted and superficial badies rather than tormented villains but a likeable hero with a complicated past and intelligent and helpful colleagues
