Peter Grainger Synopsis: Lane is the first Willows and Lane novel by Peter Grainger. Emily Willows is middle-aged, widowed, wealthy and bored. When she mentions trying paragliding 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 realised yet that after this meeting, their lives will never be the same again.
Peter pulled a bit of a swiftie: he wrote the first 3 of the Kings Lake series, and then another in the DC Smith series before the 4th in Kings Lake !!
I wish I’d read “Roxanne” before reading “Truth”.
Best writer I’ve come across in my favourite milieu – British police detective fiction. This bloke knows how to make characters real.
Some of the best books I’ve read .
Almost finished all series would like to read more from all series .
When will “Missing Pieces” be available on audible? I’ve listened to all the books twice and some of them three times. Love the character development.
Hi Joe – he posted on social media recently that May 10th is the expected date of the audio version.
Thoroughly enjoyed the DC Smith series. I haven’t started the new King’s Lake series as I’m afraid DC Smith is not part of the team. shame. This is one of the best detective characters ever–please consider another DC Smith book.
all the best,
although retired, DC still plays a role in the King’s Lake series and the other members of his team are there as well. Enjoy!
A brand new Kings Lake book is just out, and I have just started it. The first 3 chapters of character introduction and building is once again brilliant. Strongly suggest anyone about to purchase any of these books start at the beginning of the series and stay in sequence for tying the cast together. These are the best procedurals I have read, and I have read a lot. As commenter Lajeanne Leveton says in this chain “….wish he were real” is exactly what I feel, and it applies to a growing number of characters, as well as D. C. Smith.
Very highly recommended.
Love the D. C. Smith series of police procedurals, set in England. D.C. is a wonderful, kind man…..wish he were real!
Highly recommended.
