A Lambert and Hook mysteryGurney Close doesnt seem like an exciting place just four new houses, nicely built and tucked away beside the river Wye.

All goes well until one of them is found dead the next morning . . .

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The residents of Gurney Close have nothing in common except that they have all recently moved into the new development. When resident Rosemary Lennox proposes that they get to know each other better at a street party, everyone agrees it's a good idea. The party is a success, but the next morning, Robin Durkin, who hosted the event, is found strangled to death. Detectives Hook and Lambert, out of the good cop-bad cop school, are called in to investigate. An efficiently written, solidly plotted British procedural that delivers what fans of the genre want.
