A charming series for fans of Alexander McCall Smith, Robert Galbraith and Midsomer Murders. Date with Death is the first novel in Julia Chapman's Dales Detective series. Samson O'Brien has been dismissed from the police force, and returns to his home town of Bruncliffe in the Yorkshire Dales to set up a detective agency while he fights to clear his name. The people of Bruncliffe, however, aren't that welcoming to a man they perceive as trouble - and he is greeted by his old friend, Delilah Metcalfe, not with an hug but a right hook that sends him sprawling. Delilah, meanwhile, is besieged by financial concerns and struggling to keep her business, the Dales Detective Agency, afloat - all while trying to control her wayward Weimaraner dog Tolpuddle. Then when Samson gets his first case, investigating the supposed suicide of a local man, things take an unexpected turn, and soon he is discovering a trail of deaths that lead back to the door of Delilah's agency. With suspicion hanging over someone they both care for, the two feuding neighbours soon realise that they need to work together to solve the mystery of the dating deaths - and working together is easier said than done.
