Özet
 Gripping historical mystery from the bestselling author of The Stranger Diaries.

'Griffiths writes with a smart, sharp eye and great elegance' Peter James

Three girls have left. None have come back.

Brighton, 1963. Edgar Stephens has been promoted to Superintendent and is married to his former sergeant, Emma Holmes. Edgar's wartime partner in arms, magician Max Mephisto, is a movie star in Hollywood, while his daughter Ruby has her own TV show.

The funeral of an old friend highlights just how much the gang's lives have changed in the last nine years. Edgar is struggling with fresh responsibilities and the new swinging Brighton of rioting mods and rockers; Emma is chafing against the restrictions of life as a housewife.

Bob Willis, meanwhile, is tackling his biggest case since his promotion to DI: a schoolgirl missing from high-class boarding school Roedean. It looks like she's run away; but there are disturbing similarities to the disappearances of a young local nurse and a tearaway Modette, neither of whom have been seen or heard from since...

A new world is dawning in Brighton, but the city's dark side is as dangerous as ever.

'A piquant mixture of humour, period detail . . . and truly beguiling characterisation' Financial Times

Elly Griffiths' series set in post-war Brighton are entertaining diversions full of period detail, smart plotting and likeable characters

Although I've enjoyed this series, I think this book takes it up a level. The new time frame - set in the 1960s - and the Mods & Rockets backdrop shouldn't work for me since I'm not really enamoured of that period, yet it absolutely does. I like it much more than the earlier books, set a decade earlier, and loved the new insights from Emma, the former police officer.

I think you could even start the series with this book. If you haven't read the earlier ones, the key points of what you have missed are covered.

The best of this series so far

I am a huge Elly Griffiths fan but this is my first audiobook of hers. It was narrated wonderfully and as usual with her books, the pace gathered momentum with much excitement along the way. Love the back story too which is skilfully interwoven into the main plot. Highly recommend and can’t wait to listen to the next in the series!

Another cracker from Elly Griffiths

There doesn’t seem to be a great deal to dislike about this series, although I was a tad unsettled by describing this book as an ‘Historical Novel’ when I was 21 in that year and wearing similar white, knee length boots and mini-skirt as one of the characters!
Superb narration and a ripping yarn with excellent characters - who could ask for more - but DO read the series in order.

Great series...

How they had changed over the last ten years. Plot not bad either with its roots in actual events

Liked catching up with old characters and seeing

Putting to one side the irritating plinky, plonking piano music at the start and end of the story, I really enjoyed this book.
It was an interesting idea to jump forward a decade in the lives of the main characters and mix things up a little by introducing some new ones.
I’m glad that Elly not only allowed Emma and Edgar to remain a couple, not without some tensions, but that Max married and had more children. I’m pleased that the few times I thought I knew what would happen next or who the culprit might be, I was wrong.
Overall it was an excellent story with a satisfying denouement and my appreciation was increased by the talented narrator. I shall look out for him in future. He really added to my listening pleasure. Many thanks Luke Thompson
