Dorothy and Alan head to a holiday in Bath, hoping to enjoy some quiet time together, but in no time at all they find themselves embroiled in criminal events: somebody placed stolen goods in the trunk of their car and, once the authorities rule them out as suspects, they are asked to assist the police in their inquiries. However, the case is baffling - most of the loot is worthless and there’s little to connect any of the items other than that they all seem to come from various museums in the region. Ultimately it is Dorothy’s inquisitive nature that may lead them to the solution, before too many people get hurt…. This is the 24th Dorothy Martin book and one of the slightest. Aside from the rather silly “crime spree” and its even more ridiculous solution, there’s not a lot going on here. Although a few people are injured, nobody dies in this book for a change, but nothing much happens either. And there are a few annoying editing errors (one character named Sylvie becomes “Sylvia” at one point, and at the end of the book Dorothy and Alan give someone a gift after everybody else has left, ignoring the fact that they are visiting someone else’s house at the time). I’ve liked this series in part because of the relationships and in part for the travelog aspects, but this one just feels tired to me. ( ) In some ways, this 24th book in the Dorothy Martin cozy series is much like the others. Dorothy and her retired police chief constable, Alan, do a lot of sightseeing, a lot of eating, and a lot of crime solving. Unlike the other 23 books, the crime solving in this one never had the sense of urgency found in the others. When Dorothy and Alan go sightseeeing, they find what appears to be stolen loot from museum stores in Bath and Stonehenge in the boot of their car and they quickly join forces with the lead police detective to try to unravel the thefts. This is a fun series. Great cast of characters and about as gentle and cozy as a cozy mystery could be. Highly enjoyable!! (I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Net Galley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
