Close Call

Gurney Close isn’t the sort of place where anything untoward should happen. It’s just a small newly-built cul-de-sac with three nice houses and a bungalow overlooking the river Wye. The people who move in - three married couples and a divorcee - don’t expect much excitement beyond some neighbourhood friendliness. With this in mind they organise a party to celebrate moving in. Everything goes well and a good time is had by all - until one of them is found dead the next morning. Lambert and Hook are faced with a baffling crime. Their harmless ordinary victim turns out to have a darker past than they could have suspected.
