By Ellis Peters

Bunty is now an empty nester (before the term was coined), Dom is off at college and in love. George’s responsibility in the CID have increased, and he finds himself busier than ever. One night she goes down to get a drink at the local bar, and this leads Bunty into a web of intrigue, crime, and murder. Will she survive the weekend?

This is another fun, quick read. It is good to see a strong female protagonist, instead of the cool mother or the smart, dutiful wife. Peters keeps the plot moving along, twisting and turning. The problem is that these kind of reveals have been done over and over and over again since the 1960s (when this series began) both in print and in TV and the movies.
