The Case of the Disappearing Dongle (The Fremantle Mysteries Book 3)
An easy light read: 26 short chapters in which the reader is transported to sunny Perth, where there are sinister goings-on at the University of Western Australia, and across the Nullarbor Plain to Adelaide, where there is more to a marital break-up than meets the eye.
This is the third novel in the Fremantle crime series featuring intrepid sixty-something amateur sleuth Rose Absalom and her feisty granddaughter, Franny. Rose’s latest case in victim support seems an easy one: police have recovered a valuable painting that was stolen from a local professor, and his only concern is for a missing memory stick containing personal photos. But all is not as it seems, and the quest for the memory stick leads to a confusing trail of suspicion, deceit and death, as Rose finds it increasingly hard to work out who is telling the truth. While following the trail of clues, she is distracted by the unravelling marriage of her son Jim. Franny travels to Adelaide to try and help patch up the relationship between her parents, only to find that her mother has started a whole new life –one that causes the rest of the family increasing concern about her state of mind. A crime story with a twist, in which statistics plays a role in solving a mystery.
