Product Information

One of the smaller sub plots is Dee's attempt to find a wife for unreformed Clive Knowles whose farmhouse is a dirty hovel.

They escape by crossing a bog on Twistleton land - the rottweiler follows, but is trapped in the bog, and ends up doped and dumped on the vet's doorstep. Much, much later in the story, Tolpuddle will turn up at the gypsy camp looking for help when Samson and Delilah are trapped in a freezer six hours away from death, and we will learn if the gypsies are thieves or heroes. I wouldn't recommend anyone to read this book without reading the others first, relationships and storylines all converge in 'Date with Evil', but if that's too much of a reading commitment, I would at least start with the first book to get to know the characters, then read one or two before this one, if by that point you feel you can bear the spoilers. and murder, has become a go to for me for reading slump rescue recommendations, reading clubs, and just getting out of the doldrums in general, and this was to be a culmination of so many different story threads, and Julia Chapman did it! A police friend of Delilah's ( DCI Frank Thistlethwaite) warns her that Samson is no good, and after one failed marriage she doesn't know what to do for the best.

One is a shadow sneaking in the dark down from Rainsrigg Quarry towards his prey, and the other one awake is Tolpuddle, sensing trouble, and guarding Samson and Delilah. With the threat of going into the red way too far looming over her head, Delilah is faced with a tough situation. I thoroughly enjoyed Date with Evil, which is an amusing cosy with a sharp edge that doesn’t shy away from the worst in human nature. The narration is so good and she’s kept all the same character voices all the same through the series too. It opens with Delilah Metcalfe of Bruncliffe’s Dales Detective Agency struggling to meet the mounting demands for the agency’s services.

She’s confident that this is a great move that is going to help her make some money and finally start getting those ends to meet. To the south of Brunscliffe is Skipton, and to the north Horton-in-Ribbledale, and the famous Ribblesdale Viaduct. Julia's Chapman's latest witty and engaging Dales Detective novel sees Delilah's brother under suspicion of murder. Since Samson O’Brien started the Dales Detective Agency in the downstairs office of Delilah Metcalfe’s Dales Dating Agency, the calibre of drama has gone up a notch.This is book five in the Dales Detective Agency series set in the Yorkshire Dales and featuring Samson O'Brien, Delilah Metcalfe, and her huge dog Tolpuddle. It will be interesting to see the TV series if/when that happens, but make sure you read the books first if you can.

Lucy has a son Nathan who went missing in the previous book, but was rescued by Samson and the local poacher Pete Ferris. Romantic attachments that have been bubbling for a while are cemented, whilst the untrustworthy members of the town have been routed.Milan leaves a loaded gun lying about, Ana finds it, and hides it in Gareth's car (the gun room was locked). Let's mention also Dee's Weimaraner dog Tolpuddle - just the opposite of his mistress and instantly devoted to Samson. Just as animals can be imprinted by humans if they spend too long with them, so I became imprinted with this amazing part of the world. She thinks her life is in danger, but seems muddled with a story about things being stolen and turning up, and it's all a bit nebulous.
