Thank you Cheryl. I do that as well every so often. I have something in my head about the word 'woods' being in the title but have looked for that so many times and I cd be wrong. Funnily enough I had a msg from someone else who said they had been looking for this book for years Did you find the plot intriguing?

I do find the plot intriguing and I saw the post for another reader who has been looking for this same book. It seems like we should stumble upon it as you have given so many good word combos to put in the search engines. I believe you said 15 years ago you read this? May be I need to look further back putting in a span of years.

Yes, I had a msg from Sue who said she has been looking for it as well. Its a genre I rather like, a mystery without
any nasty violence to people,children or animals. I like books as well where something from the past rears its ugly head over the present, ie something from WW1/ WW2 or a bad deed that requires some research (Have been doing family research for years) I had a request on Booksleuth for another novel which got solved immediately but didn't happen in respect of this one. In fact I have recently added another to Goodreads. I don't know if you have seen it. Concern an American woman whose brother dies after a hit and run in England. She flies to London and begins to realise that he was murdered.
