Publisher's summary

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.

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.

First rate story, characters and narration

Another excellent story by Peter Grainger . I’m enjoying the development of DC Smith’s new role as a private investigator. Gildart Jackson’s narration is pitch-perfect. I hope the DC Smith series will continue along with the new (and also excellent) Willows and Lane.

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!!!

How do they keep getting better?!

This series is thoughtful and well written, drawing you in with believable, interesting characters that you develop a true fondness for and respect of—and this is due to the incredible writing as well as incomparable narration. These stories are so good, they are the first (and only) audiobooks I’ve gifted to multiple people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Just as good as I hoped it would be!

It was a good storyline, with a perfect narrator! I hated to hear it end! I've listened to them all, and I'm sad knowing there's not another waiting in my library!
