Summary
Winner of the Crime Writers Association Silver Dagger and shortlisted for the Edgar Award.
The summons comes at night. Two policemen collect Peter Diamond from his West London flat and drive him to Bath. Once head of the murder squad there, he is now out of touch in his retirement, unaware of an audacious escape from Albany Prison.
Four years previously, Diamond headed the investigation of the bizarre murder of a Swedish woman journalist, her mouth stuffed with red roses. Now the convicted murderer is at large and has already kidnapped the daughter of the Assistant Chief Constable. He is demanding that the case be reexamined, and he will deal only with Diamond.

Another enjoyable Peter Diamond book
I am becoming rather addicted to Mr Diamond and his long suffering wife. Each book follows on with his story, though it is not necessary to have read previous books to be entertained and gripped by this one which features a kidnapping and a possible wrong arrest. I,am looking forward to hearing about the detectives next adventure

Always good
Nice to have West Country setting. Always extra twists. Hope real cops are more like Diamond. The baddies have got it coming.

CLASSIC DETECTION
Recommended to those who enjoy a well structured detective tale. Hero is a grumpy English West Country Colombo personality. The story is almost Agatha Christie-like in its structure. it is genuinely possible to deduce the murderer during the story but I didn't!

another great book
this is the third book in the series with this narrator and I've really loved them all however this time I guessed the murderer with four hours still to run but it didn't spoil things not a bit the characters are great and the need to hear all the details of the case and how it is eventually solved keeps it exciting definitely recommended.

Dodgy detective work
Unemployed and living in West London with Steff when a late night visit from the Bath police takes him from bed to Bath, much against his will. The kidnapping of the daughter of his detested former chief forces Diamond to review an old murder case he was in charge of. With reluctance, and very little police support, he has to review his investigation while the escape prisoner with his hostage puts pressure on both Diamond and the Bath police.
A good story with a good narrator brings the characters and the town of Bath to life making this an enjoyable listen. Diamond's sly humour adds a lightness of touch to the otherwise grim work of rooting through the past of those involved.

Another cliffhanger which kept us guessing to the end
We enjoy the local settings as we know them all. Diamond is an engaging curmudgeon!
