Julie Watson has a successful business as a commercial kitchen designer and is justly pleased with her last commission. She has however been unnerved by some anonymous telephone calls which she had reported to the police. DCI Roper realises that he has a nuisance caller on his patch in Rickenham Green, when he receives reports of similar type calls from several other women.
However, the focus of the investigation shifts dramatically when Julie Watson is found stabbed in the kitchen of the restaurant she has just completed. As PC Brenda Gibbons interviews the other women requesting lists of all their friends and acquaintance’s seeking a link between them, one clear fact emerges, that they are all attractive women with long dark hair and around the same age. Clearly these are not random calls. However, the occupations of the girls are all very different. Maggie Telford is a dentist, Janice King is a hairdresser, and Helen Potter runs a sandwich bar with her sister. Pamela Richards and Cassandra McQuire belong to the same gym bit none of the others.
As the police cross check the list provided by the girls there seems no one name that springs out, but logically there must be a link.
I was
caught up in the mystery. A good whodunit with a surprising ending
