About this listen

Jo told him the phone call had been about a woman who wanted to have her husband declared dead. Smith thought for a moment and then said, 'Hmm. There must be a few million women in this country who feel like that. I take it her husband's been missing for a while and she's decided it's time to move on. In the absence of a body, which is always a nuisance, she wants Diver and Diver to confirm there's no proof he's alive. And I've told Jason a dozen times I'm not getting involved in anything matrimonial. I have enough trouble sorting out my own relationships.'

But on this occasion Smith has it wrong. The insurance company which will have to pay out a very substantial amount of money if Amanda Fitch obtains her certificate of presumed death has engaged Diver and Diver Associates to look into the disappearance of Gerald Fitch, more than five years ago now. As Jason Diver says, he has the very man for the job. All he has to do is to persuade that man to take it on.

Every superlative comment imaginable!

oh how I love Gildart Jackson's narrations of Smith's pedantic and precise musings! His voice perfectly reflects DC's manner.
I really enjoy DC's erudite explanations, 'his' way woth words and intelligent repartee!
Can you squeeze out another one, Peter Grainger? I'm sure thete woll be many others, like me, hanging on till the next one!

Very interesting mystery

Loved this audiobook as much as all the others I have listened to by Peter Granger. The characters are all so real and the narrator is excellent. Peter Granger is a master storyteller with imagination and he has developed his characters with empathy. One of my favourite authors.

Wonderful sardonic lead character

I loved this whole series, starting with “an Accidental Death”. The books are best read in order to fully appreciate the development of the characters- if you like a sarcastic turn of phrase, this series is for you

what now?

I'm hoping this is not the last book in the series. If so, what am I to do now?.
After a thrilling and heartwarming journey with DC, it's going to be a little depressing not to hear more 😭.

Brilliant as usual

A cleverly thought out plot, wonderful characterisation and beautifully narrated. I would happily have listened to 40 hours of this book which was sadly finished too quickly. Absolutely captivating thanks PG!
