Nineteen Twenty My Plate Is Empty : A Grasshopper Lawns whodunit Kindle Edition

Life has always piled generous helpings on Edge Cameron’s plate. An attractive autumn rose with good friends and an interesting man in her life, she’s a semi-retired scriptwriter, a wealthy widow (twice), with a TV series pilot going into production which could pile that plate even higher. Things were looking great until the production house was hit by an unscrupulous embezzler, and every penny invested in the production was stolen.

The four friends do have some unusually close links to the whole disaster, but they’re getting nowhere in their search for information. Edge, hard-hit financially, is in despair and not coping at all. Even the official investigation seems to have hit a brick wall, until an acquaintance travelling through France in a campervan spots the man the police would like to speak to and the hunt is back on.

The tenth and last book in the Grasshopper Lawns series, moving swiftly from Scotland to France and beyond is, like the others, holiday reading. The experienced armchair detective will need to be on the ball - red herrings have been carefully set by not only the author, but the mastermind behind the heist ....

Author’s note: Readers have occasionally in the past thought they spotted me doing a Hitchcock as a minor character. I never have before, but in this last book of the series there is a guest character who will seem familiar to anyone who was following my Elegsabiff.com blog in the latter part of 2017. We do have some unique similarities: but Hitchcock never appeared as himself, he was always playing a role. Ditto.

After fifteen years in Scotland Elizabeth Lamprey upped sticks in 2017 and moved to the Costa Tropical in Spain - proof of the dangers of thorough research, which had taken her there several times.

Her usual style is cozy and she has said, when asked to compare her books to others, "The Hamish Macbeth series is probably the closest with a Scottish setting, and the gentle rambling is a bit No.1 Ladies Detective Agency..."

She also says of herself 'One of the best, absolute best, things about being an autumn rose, is that I've pretty much paid my family dues, done my bit, seen out my responsibilities and now it's my time. Time to live out dreams, tick those patient items on the to-do list, take on new challenges - time to seize the day.'

As EJ Lamprey she wrote the Grasshopper Lawns series of whodunits (set in Scotland), but also writes a bit of SF as Joanna Lamprey. She also, under the tongue-in-cheek name of Clarissa Rodgers-Briskleigh, writes novels and how-to books about the constantly expanding world of mature singles, a subject she has researched with fascination and enthusiasm since Five Six Pick Up Sticks, in which Edge Cameron deliberately joins a singles website to attract the attention of a genuine ladykiller.

Sorry to see this end, but I know it can’t go on forever. I thoroughly enjoyed every one of the individual books and everything the foursome got up to. If it had to end, that book took care of it very well. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of an era

This is the last book in the Grasshopper Lawns series, which is a wee bit sad for me, as I feel like Edge and the gang have become friends. In this final adventure they combine their literary and sleuthing skills to discover who embezzled their investments from a television production company. Despite red herrings, outright lies, and attempts on their lives, they uncover the truth and track down their quarry in true murder-mystery style. "Nineteen Twenty..." is a fun read and you don't have to have read the whole series to enjoy the story, but why wouldn't you want to?! This book, as with the rest in the series, is short enough to be read in one sitting. Go on, treat yourself this Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whew - a complicated caper!!

A fitting winding- up of the delightful series involving a lovable cast of older-but-active amateur sleuths! As always, the setting is part of the cast, and Ms Lamprey would do well with the Tourism bureaux of several countries she has taken us to. Safe and happy endings for the good, the kind and the clever - and well-deserved outcomes for the rest! Sorry to say goodbye, but it's been a whole lot of fun!
