Summary
"So I thought I might take up paragliding. You know, buy one on eBay and just jump off the cliff one morning."
Emily Willows is middle-aged, widowed, wealthy, and bored. When she makes those flippant remarks to her son over coffee one Friday, she has no inkling that within a few hours she will be facing the most terrifying situation of her life. Nor could she have guessed that she will be confronting it with the enigmatic young woman who moved in next door a few months ago and who has hardly spoken a word to her since. And neither of them has realized yet that after this meeting, their lives will never be the same again.

The excellent Peter Grainger but let down by narration
Peter Grainger is an amazing writer and his stories never cease to engage and fascinate me about the police process and his credible characterisation. However… after listening to the wonderful Gildart Jackson for DC and Lakes stories I was so disappointed with this narration. It was unconvincing above all seemed to completely ignore the setting of the book… in Cornwall!!! Poor accents and engagement with the text. All the way through I kept thinking … I could do better! Such a shame.

Awful accents
Wonder if this book is set in the 1990’s
Weird for the crims to say “effing”
Set in Cornwall, but not a single character with a West Country accent

Pretty good
Peter Granger is a wonderful writer and this story is away from his other stories I've listened to by him . I enjoyed it very much but I can't say I'm keen on the reader. The tale is unusual in that it is very short and the length of the book is how long the incident takes to happen. I think there is another in the series so I'll be listening to that so I can't have been put off by the reader too much.

Good story Awful Accents
This was a bit different from the other Peter Grainger books I have listened to. I enjoyed it but the Cornish towns were wrongly pronounced and I'm not sure where the accents came from but nut the West Country. I tried to ignore it and just enjoyed the story

Old Mrs Willows
Loved the story of excitement & intrigue, accents in narration are a little off putting but didn’t detract from story. BUT…. what a disappointing end !! I hope there will be a follow up book.

Not as good as hoped
Perhaps I am spoiled by the DC Smith series which I absolutely adore. All the excellent dialogue and small detail that Peter Grainger seems so good at was there but I found this book a little pointless. However the characters are interesting and I can't quite see how they will be kept together to form the basis of the next story (I see there is one). I shall probably download No. 2 to see how this is managed and to see of Peter Grainger manages to really capture my imagination again.

loved it
The story was great so was the narration. I was just left hanging. Who were the corrupt official and did they manage to compromise the case?
