Summary

For its own very good reasons, Scotland Yard sends Dover off to remote Creedshire to investigate the disappearance of a young housemaid, Juliet Rugg. Though there's every cause to assume that she has been murdered - she gave her favours freely and may even have stooped to a bit of blackmail - no body is to be found. 

Weighing in at 16 stone, she couldn't be hard to overlook. But where is she? And why should Dover, of all people, be called upon to find her? Or, for that matter, even bother to solve the damned case?

Critic reviews

“Miss Porter shows splendid fertility in comic invention. The comic-horrific ending must be the best crime fiction joke of the year.” (Julian Symons, Sunday Times)

Dover One!!!

I really enjoyed this book. The humour is subtle and the plot never falters. Good characterisations too.

The narration by Sam Devereaux was excellent, perfectly capturing each district voice. Sometimes, when a book has a few characters, the narrator can get voices mixed up but not this one. He was spot on throughout.

I will be listening to Dover Two, but there are no more books on Audible after that. The author wrote many more so I am hoping they become audiobooks as well.
