⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”A thoroughly enjoyable read, ‘Death of a Well-travelled Man‘ returns to Faukon Abbey, Devon, and a series of unexplained deaths to puzzle local cops, DI Peter Greene and DC Terry Ford.
As they burrow deeper into the mysterious circumstances surrounding both the victims and the suspects, Jimmy Carter, a reporter from the local rag and the perfect foil for the detectives, does some digging of his own.
Layering one crime over another, Lakelett remains in command of multiple threads in true Agatha Christie fashion as the puzzled investigators move from one theory to another, exposing motives and laying bare doubts and insecurities as they negotiate human nature in their search for the truth. A great relaxing read for a lazy afternoon- 5 stars and thoroughly recommended.” BookViral

It was an easy read, and the chapters flowed into each other. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, turning the pages as fast as I could. All the twists and turns kept me guessing until the end. The characters were brilliantly developed and authentic. They could have been anyone I know. There were a variety of characters, and the relationships between them were believable. The story was excellently written, and it was clear that forensic research had been done. I didn’t expect the story to end the way it did, and I was dumbfounded.” A Boucher, Reader’s Favorite
