A novel by David W Robinson
"It's been a long time since I have a read a book that made me laugh out loud. Love the characters in this series and I can't wait for the next book."
~ Denise Toten Bates
A comic mystery of unruly behaviour, nouveau riche snobbery, and third-age decadence, complete with dodgy pills and murder.
When successful crime and thriller writer, Raymond Baldock, returns to Midthorpe, the scum council estate where he was born and brought up, he is hell-bent on wielding his wealth and influence over everyone for the few days that he is there. But he has reckoned without romance in the shape of the lovely Lisa.
Then there is the mystery of the wheels stolen from his car. And after his demure, divorced mother poisons her boyfriend and is arrested on a charge of attempted murder, Raymond must turn detective to unravel the mystery... and get his wheels back.
Missing persons, costly thefts, fake pills, a dead body, and a middle-aged mother determined to embarrass her son and flaunt her new-found zest for life and love, spell out a recipe for comic mayhem in Missing on Midthorpe, the first case in the new Midthorpe Murder Mystery series!
