Five Six Pick Up Sticks: a Grasshopper Lawns Whodunit (Volume 3) E J Lamprey

Dying to meet an eligible man?

Website dating for the over-fifties is definitely a boom industry, but for some it has been a dead end, and the Scottish police want to know why. Sergeant Kirsty Cameron?s aunt Edge is the right age to become the bait in their investigation, and even has some recent murder-solving experience on her CV, making her the perfect candidate. The third in the Grasshopper Lawns series dives gleefully into the murkiest end of the senior singles dating pool (where the predators lurk) with Edge secretly hoping to meet someone special. It?s spring, and it seems the rest of the world is in love, is there someone out there for her? Preferably not the murderer, of course. Although their recent murders were solved with her friends Vivian, Donald and William, this investigation is so covert, not even they can know why she is suddenly so keen to meet a series of slightly dodgy men. They do insist on riding shotgun in the pubs and restaurants all round the beautiful Forth area in Scotland, which is a bit of a nuisance when Mr Right does come along. Unless he?s just another dead end? Excerpt from Five Six Pick Up Sticks 'I feel exactly, but exactly, like James Bond,' Edge said joyfully. 'May I call you Q?' Sergeant Dinwiddie grinned back. 'Now pay attention, 007!' he gently took the phone from her. 'This phone can?t be tracked normally, but it does feature a short range signal on a special frequency, which your team will be tuned into. And this, at the back ? looks like a battery cover, but it?s a panic button. Twist it sideways, then press, to call for help, any stage. It?ll show up on any police scanners in fifty miles, anywhere in the UK.'
