Folge 18: Als ein amerikanischer Tourist in Cherringham als vermisst gemeldet wird, sieht die örtliche Polizei zunächst keinen Grund zur Sorge, da sich bei geführten Touren häufiger Leute absetzen. Dann aber reist die Schwester des Touristen aus New York an, verzweifelt auf der Suche nach ihrem Bruder.
Auch Jack und Sarah sind schließlich überzeugt, dass an dem Verschwinden des Mannes mehr dran ist, als es zunächst schien. Bald stecken sie knietief in einem Fall, bei dem es um Rache, Gehorsam, Schmach - und Tod geht...
Bei einer Führung durch Cherringham verschwindet ein amerikanischer Tourist spurlos. Der Touristengruppe fällt gar nicht auf, dass er fehlt, aber die Schwester des Verschwundenen meldet sich bei Jack und bittet ihn um Hilfe… Dieser Band hat mir sehr gut gefallen, auch wenn die Geschichte diesmal nicht so „cosy“ war wie sonst. Ich fand die Handlung ein bisschen bedrückender als üblich, aber unterhaltsam und rätselhaft.

My rating system (* = star) 0* Could not finish this book (waste of time) 1* Finished the book but didn't like it. 2* Finished the book it was okay. 3* A good read worth your time. 4* An excellent read often with a novel concept or unusual plot. 5* A great read. A prominent example of the genre.
For the most part, this is Jack’s story. Sarah makes her appearance, but Jack is the main person on the trail, and I found that interesting. I love them as a team, but it is nice to see how each performs separately. There is one small part where Jack gets Sarah’s mind wandering, which I found interesting, but then again, maybe I am hoping for an outcome that may never come to fruition. There is always a possibility and one more reason why I continue with Cherringham.
An American tourist disappears during a visit to Cherringham. His sister is concerned but the police aren't helpful other than suggesting that she contact Jack so Jack and Sarah take on the case. To be honest, this was just an okay story. I enjoy the interaction between Jack and Sarah, but the story itself was not all that mysterious.
Jack and Sarah once again was asked to solve another mystery. This time it is a missing tourist. What could have become of him. He was very sickly looking, feeble, could he have wondered off, fallen, laid down and died? Would they find him alive. No one seemed to know anything about him, then there was a clue. Read, find out about the clue.
This is an average entry in the Cherringham series. But, as usual, it provided good entertainment while doing yard work and making dinner over the course of a couple days. With familiar characters and a somewhat formulaic storyline, it is easy to follow while doing something else.
What a sad storyline of the vanishing tourist, but so typical for army protocols, asking everything from you but giving you nothing in return. So sad and tragic. Good story!
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 tourist that disappears.
