About this listen

Jo told him the phone call had been about a woman who wanted to have her husband declared dead. Smith thought for a moment and then said, 'Hmm. There must be a few million women in this country who feel like that. I take it her husband's been missing for a while and she's decided it's time to move on. In the absence of a body, which is always a nuisance, she wants Diver and Diver to confirm there's no proof he's alive. And I've told Jason a dozen times I'm not getting involved in anything matrimonial. I have enough trouble sorting out my own relationships.'

But on this occasion Smith has it wrong. The insurance company which will have to pay out a very substantial amount of money if Amanda Fitch obtains her certificate of presumed death has engaged Diver and Diver Associates to look into the disappearance of Gerald Fitch, more than five years ago now. As Jason Diver says, he has the very man for the job. All he has to do is to persuade that man to take it on.

A cleverly thought out plot, wonderful characterisation and beautifully narrated. I would happily have listened to 40 hours of this book which was sadly finished too quickly. Absolutely captivating thanks PG!

Have listened to all of this series and this is one of my favorites. DC is back with his warmth humor and diligence. Well read as usual and you feel like you are on the Norfolk coastline at times.

So happy that David Smith character continues with his adventures as I was worried there would be no more books including his character after retiring. Thoroughly love this series and can’t wait for the next book.

Smith is an endearing and humorous character. The story and characters very well developed. I just contacted Optus and was thanked for "Reaching out to us!" One of the Sergeant's many Pet Hates! Keep the stories coming have them all so far. I listen to them over and over many times. Mike (ex copper!)

Excellent stories and great Orators
