On the advice of a pair of crooks masquerading as financial advisers, one of their co-workers, Duncan, decided at the last minute not to play. He goes missing and the next day his girlfriend Flower also disappears. A second winning lottery ticket was purchased in the next town but the winner hasn't come forward. Could Duncan have secretly bought it? The Clarks' endearing heroes - Alvirah Meehan, the amateur sleuth, and private investigator Regan Reilly - have arrived in Branscombe for the festival. Alvirah and Regan are just the people to find out what is amiss. As they dig beneath the surface, they find that life in Branscombe is not as tranquil as it appears. So much for an old-fashioned weekend in the country ...

Just in time for the holidays! A funny yet heartwarming story about good fortunes given to deserving people and the redemption at the end when injustice initially was caused by the culprit. Good read indeed!

This book is yet another page turner by mother and daughter writing team Mary and Carol Higgins Clark. The book starts off with our favourite "rich detective" Alvirah getting injured and almost missing out on all the action. From there we meet a bunch of co-workers who win a lottery and that's when all the action truly starts. You see one of the co-workers disappears and in the process of finding him we meet his girlfirend Flower who also becomes entangled in the events! I don't want to give anything else away but you too will love this book and it will be over much too soon!!!
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was quite disappointed in this book. It is not your typical Mary Higgins Clark book. I found the plot to be somewhat
shallow and amateurish. When you think there is more to come, the story ends and you discover that the last 50 pages of the book are parts of other books to preview. I would recommend it for youth but not great for adult reading.
