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. Will they solve them all before the danger comes directly to
their door?
Evil is stalking the streets of Bruncliffe . . .
From stolen washing to inheritance investigations, Bruncliffe's Dales
Detective Agency is being inundated with cases.
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.
So when the mother of a local estate agent arrives at the offices
insisting her son is missing, Delilah is relieved to have Samson return
to help.
Little do the detective duo know that several of their cases are about
to collide, as what appears to be a simple matter of identifying the
whereabouts of the missing man becomes something far more sinister.
Something that will finally expose the network of evil which has been
infiltrating the Dales town over the past decade, and in doing so place
Delilah in the utmost danger.
Wonderfully engaging, Julia Chapman's latest Dales mystery is perfect
for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club series .
