About this product

Product Information

A woman's naked body is found floating in the weeds of a lake near Bath, by an elderly woman walking her Siamese cats. No-one comes forward to identify her, and no murder weapon is found, but sleuthing is Superintendent Peter Diamond's speciality. A genuine gumshoe, practising door-stopping and deduction: he is the last detective.Struggling with office politics and a bizarre cast of suspects, Diamond strikes out on his own, even when Forensics think they have the culprit. Eventually, despite disastrous personal consequences, and amongst Bath's rambling buildings and formidable history, the last detective exposes the uncomfortable truth. . .

As it says on the cover, but not the 'last' peter diamond book I'll buy
Imagine waking up listening to the rain pelting against your windows, it's cold dark and miserable. You have to get up and go out, so you persevere, onwards through the dark,muddy Woods and fields. Eventually you arrive at a warmer,drier place,onwards you go,the sky brightens up,then come across a welcoming cafe and enjoy a fulfilling, tasty snack. Further you go, enjoying every step, the sun shines glowing,the birds are singing. A pub with a glorious beer garden appears, you savour the splendour of a few beers and smile, what a great end, magnificent!!
