Parting of the waves: Fourth in the Gil and Bridget Honeyman mystery series
A woman is missing from a Calais to Dover cross-channel ferry, presumed drowned. The police are ready to wrap things up as a tragic accident, that is until former pastry chef and amateur sleuth Bridget Honeyman arrives on the scene to put an enormous spanner in the works.
In her holiday cottage in France, Bridget reads a newspaper article about the incident and her eyes nearly pop out of her head when she studies the accompanying photo of the missing woman and her husband. She’s horrified to see it’s the couple that she and her brother Gil briefly chatted to on their way to France just a few days ago. Except it’s not the same woman, Bridget tells Gil. It’s a good likeness but it’s definitely not her. Gil has come to trust his sister’s powers of observation and if she says it’s not her, well that’s good enough for him.
On their return to the UK, Gil and Bridget bump into an old ally in the form of newly promoted Detective Chief Inspector Mark Addison who is heading the investigation into the missing woman. Like Bridget, he too smells a rat but his boss would rather he spent his time and valuable police resources solving a mini crime wave that’s hit the area. Keen to get to the bottom of what really happened on the ferry whilst not busting the budget, Mark enlists Gil and Bridget’s help. True to form whenever the pair are involved, events take one dramatic turn after another as the mystery deepens and leads them into a web of lies and deceit.
If you’re a fan of Gil and Bridget then you’ll love their latest adventure which has all your favourite ingredients, plus a surprising development for Bridget thrown in for good measure!
