“Missing Letters” the NEW Inspector Walter Darriteau book for 2025, is now available to pre-order. It will be released as an ebook and paperback on July 17th 2025 (not far away now!) and all pre-orders will be automatically delivered on that day.

Here are some early opinions and thoughts on the book:

The characters are realistically portrayed with distinct personalities, and the banter is particularly well-done.

Again, thank you for the book. I have just finished it. Another enjoyable book and plots I had no idea how they would come together at first. I really enjoyed it.

The inclusion of unexpected details, like the man attempting to sell his dog and his daughter, adds a touch of dark humour and realism.

The author uses humour and irony to create a light-hearted tone while dealing with potentially serious themes.

I’m just over half way through and it’s extremely intriguing.

The compelling characters are distinct, each with their own voice, and the conversations feel natural.

Engaging plot that keeps the reader guessing.

The suspense is heightened by the gradual unveiling of clues and the secrets and lies within.

Here’s the book description:

Pamela Grayson stays late on a hot summer Friday evening. A bookkeeper, employed in a struggling business, her boss needs new figures for the accountant and bank manager. Pam happy to oblige, the only one remaining in the office.

Figures massaged and bullied into the best order, she sets them on the boss’s desk and leaves the building to drive home to her Chester apartment by the burbling river.

On the thirty-minute trip, she doesn’t consider cop cars and bikes and radar traps, thinking instead of her estranged boyfriend, and what he would do at the weekend. Breaking the speed limit was not unusual for Pam, and that night, she was lucky.

Arriving home, relieved to slip off her work shoes, she debates on hot drink or cold.

In the cool flat, she doesn’t know she isn’t alone.

So begins “Missing Letters”, the sixteenth case in the Inspector Walter Darriteau series.

Walter is going to be busy, but not on police work, for he has fled the country, accompanying his friend Marina Moo to Hong Kong. She is divorcing and needs a confidant to see her through.

He’s no idea what is going on at home. He has more important things to think about, events that will change his life.

“Missing Letters”, another chunky Walter Darriteau book running to over 450 pages.

“Missing Letters”, embracing three continents, and ninety years of turbulent British and family history, and available to order now.
