Rest Assured

Twin Lakes Country Holiday Park, located in a rural area of England near the Welsh border, provides the setting for Gregson’s engaging 27th Lambert and Hook procedural (after 2013’s Cry of the Children). On unofficial business, Det. Sgt. Bert Hook tries to allay the fears of Lisa and Jason Ramsbottom, who have been receiving anonymous threatening notes on the doorstep of their second home in Twin Lakes. When reclusive Wally Keane, who lives year-round at Twin Lakes with his busybody wife, turns up dead in the woods, Hook, along with Det. Chief Supt. John Lambert, must visit the residents of the community on official police business. The two coppers soon determine that no love was lost between Wally and his neighbors. As cracks begin to show in the suspects’ various alibis, they must determine what Wally was really doing while spending long hours at his computer. Gregson keeps readers guessing until the very end.
