Blood on the Rocks

DI Joanna Piercy is irritated at what she perceives to be an attempt to wrap her up in cotton wool during her pregnancy when she is asked to take on the case of Zachary Foster, a missing 96-year-old man suffering from dementia. Zachary has vanished from his residential care home on the edge of Leek during the night with his beloved old teddy bear. He can't have gone far, surely, but how did a frail, elderly man manage to abscond from a secure house at night? As Joanna investigates, it soon becomes clear that this apparently minor case is far more sinister than it first appears. Could her own life, and that of her unborn child, be at risk?

This is the darndest book. One of the Outside the Usual that turns out to be quite good. I did nod off a couple of times without appearing to miss
much so you may want to bring
some hand work more challenging
than a solitaire game. It had me
at cliff's edge as the author raced to
The End. Very good book, fine
Narrator, worth a credit for a well plotted and written mystery/ thriller/
suspense.
