The Camera Man

DC Smith Investigation, Book 10

By: Peter Grainger

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Jo told him the phone call had been about a woman who wanted to have her husband declared dead. Smith thought for a moment and then said, 'Hmm. There must be a few million women in this country who feel like that. I take it her husband's been missing for a while and she's decided it's time to move on. In the absence of a body, which is always a nuisance, she wants Diver and Diver to confirm there's no proof he's alive. And I've told Jason a dozen times I'm not getting involved in anything matrimonial. I have enough trouble sorting out my own relationships.'

But on this occasion Smith has it wrong. The insurance company which will have to pay out a very substantial amount of money if Amanda Fitch obtains her certificate of presumed death has engaged Diver and Diver Associates to look into the disappearance of Gerald Fitch, more than five years ago now. As Jason Diver says, he has the very man for the job. All he has to do is to persuade that man to take it on.

Another winner

Besides loving all Peter Grainger's books-I can't imagine them without Gildart Jackson's superb narration. The pair of them make every one of Grainger's books first rate.
Grainger's new life for retired DC works beautifully and we listeners are the richer for it.

Love every word

Beautifully crafted book. Awesome narrator. Great story. Can’t wait for more. The essence of people,relationships and scenery so beautifully captured.

Outstanding as always!!!

I so enjoyed this series, and to be honest, I would be hard-pressed to say if it’s the writing I enjoy the most, or Gildart Jackson’s performance. Both are truly exceptional, and I am certainly hopeful of a new book in the near term. I can’t imagine anyone doing justice to DC’s personality the way Gildart Jackson does.

I LOVE this writer/reader combo!

A person’s life changes in retirement & I think that Mr. Grainger illustrates that with DC Smith’s attention to coffee, tea & birds, but he’s still got that drive to tie up the loose ends. I want more!!!

Fabulous!

The absolute best crime writer and narrator in the universe! Please tell Peter Grainger and Gildart Jackson to het the next one ready asap.
