Genre: Amateur Sleuth
Series: Cherringham #24
First Sentence: Harry Platt woke suddenly, thinking for a second that he was under fire, looking for a muzzle-flash, reaching for his tine hat, heart racing, mouth open, gasping for air.
Blurb: When a doddering Harry Platt tumbles from the top of his stairs in a deadly fall, it looks like an unfortunate accident. But solicitor Tony Standish’s suspicions are aroused when he meets the beneficiaries and discovers the immense size of the estate. Jack and Sarah investigate and find that nothing is what it seems when it comes to families - not when money and secrets are involved. (GoodReads)
My Opinion: Jack and Sarah are best friends. They can complete each other’s sentences and reach the same conclusions, even if they aren’t in the same room. When it comes to a death in this particular family, they are content to let things lie. As far as they are concerned, it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person, and there is no reason to bring more pain to the family.
As for the ending, there is a cliffhanger that I don’t remember happening in any of the previous novellas. The anxiety over the outcome will have devoted fans quickly downloading the twenty-fifth in the series.
