Story
Agnes Lockwood returns to Tyneside, only to stumble across another dead body. On her first visit, she helped the police solve a murder and gained quite the reputation as an amateur sleuth. Now, she is simply looking forward to meeting again with Alan Johnson, a DCI with the Newcastle police force. She is hoping their relationship will continue to blossom, but on her first day back in the city, she gets caught up in another murder. And this time, her intrusion into the police investigation pushes Alan Johnson’s patience to the very limit.

Out walking near the rain-swelled river running past her small Welsh town, she comes across the body of Amber Morgan. Fabia’s police training tells her instantly that the death is the result of foul play. But no longer in the force, all she can do is call it in. Yet she has mixed feelings when she discovers it is her former colleague, Matt Lambert, newly promoted to chief inspector, who will head the investigation into the girl’s death.

Enjoyed it a lot.
It's so refreshing to see slightly older characters as the main protagonists. Not only does Mrs Lockwood help to solve a crime but she finds a love interest as well. I love that she can swig back the wine and brandy too. She is a fab character. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy.

Enjoyable Cosy Crime Mystery
This is the first in a series of cosy crime mysteries featuring amateur sleuth Agnes Lockwood, who fancies herself as a bit of a Miss Marple. She is recently widowed, in her mid 50s, and lives in Kent but decides to spend a few days in Newcastle, the area she grew up in. There she becomes involved in a series of jewel thefts and then murders.
The writing has an old fashioned feel to it, but the story drew me in and I enjoyed it. Will look out for more in the series.

A jolly good listen.
This is the first book i've read by this author and it won't be the last I hope. It kept me interested right from the start, it's fast paced and intriguing. The narration is great and adds to the overall enjoyment of the story. Highly recommended.
I was given this copy of the book and am leaving this honest review.
