Hi all,

 

I've just submitted for proofing "Gently Down The Stream (The Inspector
George Gently Case Files #3)" by Alan Hunter.

 

It's been read and spell-checked. Headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, fonts adjusted. 186 pages.

There is a lot of dialect that will throw off your spell check. It's been
checked against the print. 

Description:

At the Sloley Boatyard, near Norchester, a long day ends in sudden
excitement. The burned-out shell of one of the boats is discovered
downstream on Ollby Dyke. A fact that disrupts several lives and
organizations is that the charred remains of John Lammas, prosperous
wholesaler,

are in the wreck. This may have been an accident due to the boat's motor,

but why then are Lammas's wife and son unable to furnish alibis, and why has
his mysterious dark-haired female companion disappeared, along with the
chauffeur? Chief Inspector Gently's projected fishing holiday goes by the
board as he is urgently summoned to Norchester to lead the investigation.

The case simply bristles with leads-too many. Forget one fact and the
picture makes sense. Ignore another and a second picture is complete.

Considering them all together nothing appears to Gently but chaos. All his
patience and subtlety is needed, helped at regular intervals by his favorite
peppermint creams, to break the back of the Lammas murder.

 

Deborah
