Just Desserts

Read Just Desserts Storyline:

Lambert and Hook find there's no one to foot the bill Camellia Park Golf Club had completed its first ten years and its owner, Patrick Nayland, felt it was time to splash out. Determined to give his employees a good time, he booked the entirety of Soutters Restaurant. A riotous evening was had by all. In fact they were making so much noise, the screams from the lavatory could easily have gone unnoticed. Chief Superintendent Lambert usually finds that the more enemies a murder victim has, the harder it is to decide who has more motive than anyone else. This victim was at the opposite, even trickier, end of the spectrum: popular with absolutely everyone.From BooklistPatrick Nayland created the Camellia Park Golf Club out of a barren pasture and has turned it into a highly successful enterprise. To celebrate, he hosts an elegant dinner for his staff and their families. Everyone is in a celebratory mood until the club's catering manager discovers Patrick's dead body. Detectives Lambert and Hook are called to investigate, but even this talented duo is puzzled by the murder of a man who seemed to have no enemies. But as the two detectives dig deeper, they discover that things at Camellia Park were not as rosy as they seemed. Another solid entry in the Lambert and Hook series, with realistic descriptions of the nitty-gritty of police procedural work and enough red herrings to baffle even the most dedicated mystery fan. Another lesser-known English procedural series that could be recommended to fans of Reginald Hill or Martha Grimes. Emily MeltonCopyright © American Library Association.
