Product Information

Mais comment imaginer un seul instant que ce roman est annoncé comme le dernier de la série des détectives du Yorkshire ? The vague threat that novel ends on, presumably signposting the way for book number 9 in the series, is that the sprightly but elderly members of the local retirement complex might lose their home. PAF, on laisse tous les attachants personnages de Bruncliffe avec une suite que nous aurons imaginé. I have enjoyed this series immensely from book one and would say please read the other books before this one as this brings together threads from a few of the previous books. Developments in Samson and Delilah's relationship, as well as several others, are front and centre, but all while tying together a few seemingly unrelated jobs that have come into the Dales Detective Agency.

But in each book we get a glimpse to the end game, so if you are going to start this series I recommend book one! Delilah croule sous les affaires pendant que Samson est à Londres, suite aux évènements du tome précédent. J'ai trouvé la conclusion, en ce qui concerne Samson, idiote, il n'y a pas d'autre mot, avec l'impression une fois encore que l'auteur se ménageait les éléments nécessaires à une suite au détriment du patient, très patient lecteur et ça, franchement, ça m'agace. There's so much work to be done on all the investigative, dating and web site activities that they enlist the help of Ida and a young trainee. I loved Delilah and Samson together, they turn out to be a really good combo – good for each other and their business.I would liken this book and indeed the series to a boiled sweet with a soft centre but a hard shell. It will be interesting to see the TV series if/when that happens, but make sure you read the books first if you can. But with Samson O'Brien still in London helping the Met Police clear his name, and the newly appointed member of the investigations team, Ida Capstick, distracted by her brother George's insistence that their farm is haunted, Delilah Metcalfe is struggling to meet the mounting demands for the agency's services. Born with a wanderlust that keeps her moving, Julia has followed her restless feet to Japan, Australia, the USA and France.

In the eighth novel in the Dales Detective series, Date with Evil , Samson and Delilah are about to discover that all of their new cases may be connected to a network of evil that seems to be surrounding Bruncliffe. Biography: Julia Chapman is the pseudonym of Julia Stagg, who has had five novels, the Fogas Chronicles set in the French Pyrenees, published by Hodder. All the previously laid threads meet here and many are neatly tied up, although there's one more book (at least), so obviously not all of them. A son retour, ils doivent résoudre plusieurs enquêtes, du vol de vêtements à la disparition d'un jeune homme.It’s a small town so nothing is secret and everything is fair game for comment, except, obviously, for the identity of the person behind this latest mayhem.

However, although the crimes initially seem minor, we soon find that something very serious is going on in the Dales and the book has some very dark scenes. Its distinctive landscape and way of life provide the setting for her latest set of novels, the Dales Detective series.

J'aime d'amour les personnages, que ce soit Samson et Delilah qui font vibrer mon coeur ou tous les perso secondaires qui sont follement attachants. The author has brought to life the North Yorkshire landscape and populated it with wonderful characters. Il n'y a rien que j'admire plus qu'un écrivain qui sache maintenir l'intérêt de son auditoire sans se sentir obligé de prendre en otage des éléments de l'intrigue !

Nevertheless, this makes for an easy read and definitely had me on the edge of my seat towards the end.I was so nervous and excited to pick up this book, the village of Bruncliffe with it's overly familiar residents, inter-related families, cake, tea. It tied the narrative strands from the previous books together very well, though I still don't understand exactly how international crime and money laundering work! Des longueurs, du remplissage et des pages et des pages qui ne servent qu'à entretenir un suspense sans fin. Delilah ends up putting a lot into helping Samson and they both solve the mysteries the town brings them. in fact they were all leading up to this book which makes me hope that this is not the last that we hear from the Dales detective agency.
