I love a good short story and the Cherringham series does not disappoint.
When two locals decided to roam through the farms of Cherringham, it is no surprise that one day they might find something more than a belt buckle or an odd coin. The metal detector has turned up a true treasure -- a silver Roman plate purported to be worth millions.
Of course, the simple locals cannot be trusted to keep it safe so Professor Cartwright volunteers his safe. Unfortunately, the next morning when a museum expert arrives to appraise the find, it is gone. With fingers pointing and no one having answers, retired NYPD detective Jack and local web designer Sarah jump right in and discover who had the most to gain by this disappearance.
There is just something about the series that is the perfect combination of mystery and character. The stories are short and to the point, combining the indefinable mixture that keeps you engaged to the end.
