"True wit is the hallmark of the classic British mystery, and Peter Lovesey delivers it, and a lot more in The House Sitter. . . . A literate and delightful mystery."—The Baltimore Sun

From AudioFile:

On a sunny summer beach, the tide comes in, and the sunbathers scatter. But the woman behind the blue windbreak isn't moving, and her belongings are being lapped up by the sea. A murder, indeed--which becomes a case for Detective Inspector Peter Diamond. Amid the threat of three more murders, Steve Hodson pleasantly delivers an intelligent summation of each happening. He gives an understandable sketch of all the characters and keeps listeners interested in the convoluted mystery. J.P. � AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
