When his aunt and uncle disappear from their coastal English town, a man goes down a dangerous path to discover what happened . . . David Booker has returned to Romney Marsh on the south coast of England for a holiday. He’s expecting to spend time helping his aunt and uncle pack up the stock of their second-hand bookshop in preparation for a happy retirement. But when he arrives on a miserable … he arrives on a miserable April night to find his relatives missing without word and without a clue regarding their whereabouts, he gets little in the way of help from the local police, with the exception of Det. Jo Cash. They will team up to find the truth–possibly at the risk of both their lives.

Enjoyed book, liked the characters and plot.
Enjoyed the book, kept my interest.
I grew up in England but now am in exile on foreign shores so like a bit of nostalgia that comes from reading books set in UK. He has a good twist to this tale and I enjoyed reading it. The story is also educational. However, I wish he had just given the names of the relatives instead of the incessant ‘my relatives’ ‘my uncle” my aunt’. Why not give their names? Did anyone else find this irritating? Presumably the uncle is the blood relative and the aunt a relative by marriage. In Detective fiction there seem to be a lot of people with no family which I find far fetched. David also appears to have no friends!

Great book and character development. Kept my interest throughout.
Good read. This is set in s place that I am familiar with so that made it even more readable. Just discovered this author, I will start another of his books tomorrow! I recommend this book. An enjoyable, easy, interesting storyline.
This book kept my interest. The main character had some flaws but was intent on finding answers and prone to introspection and romanticism.
