Folge 44: Als der leblose Körper des Kriminaljournalisten Tom Pinder aus der Themse gefischt wird, vermuten alle, dass der stadtbekannte Trunkenbold versehentlich im Fluss ertrunken ist. Doch Pinders junge Kollegin glaubt nicht an diese Erklärung und bittet Jack und Sarah, Nachforschungen anzustellen. Während sie sich in die Geschichten vertiefen, an denen Pinder gearbeitet hat, entdecken Jack und Sarah bald, dass er sich einige sehr gefährliche Feinde gemacht hat, die bereit sind, vor nichts Halt zu machen, um eine gefährliche Wahrheit zu verbergen...
It's like joining up with old friends every time you start a new book. Going along with them as they investigate another crime in Cherringham. Then sitting back as they work it all out to find the culprit. It's a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.
It was good to be back with Sarah and Jack. This book is more of the same so if you like others in the series you will like this one. I like the shorter novella nature of this series.
I have read them all and will happily reread them. I like the sleuthing. I like that they're short. I like that Jack and Sarah are not in it for fame and that they always orchestrate a positive ending. I recommend to all readers.
I've been enjoying this cozy series in audio format - perfect for in the car, doing chores, etc. I like the characters, the setting, and, generally, the stories. However, with 40+ stories in the can, they're becoming repetitive. This is the second in succession, and possibly 3rd or 4th in total [can't remember with certainty], that relies on the appearance of a previously unknown child seeking fortune and/or revenge on behalf of a dead parent. 40+ bad guys is a lot, but surely there are more possibilities for 'who done it'.

Love this series! I have enjoyed reading this series since I discovered it in 2017. Alway a good storyline and what I like is that I can read through it in an afternoon or evening. Sometimes I drag them out, too. Just wish they were on Kindle Unlimited too.
A good book to listen too when you clean the house. It gives you ”Midsomer murders” wibes. It is fun to try to figure out how the guilty person is. Jack is a retired cop from US, Sarah is a singel mom and they solves crime together. This one was about a murder.
