The Summer of 76: A Crooke and Loch crime story Kindle Edition
Star-crossed lovers, The Summer of the century, then Organised Crime butts in!
As Sam came round, a stabbing pain in her chest made her wince. She was hurting everywhere. Her eyes were stuck, swollen shut. She struggled to move and pain shot through her arms and legs.
“Keep still, love. The ambulance is on the way.” She heard a man’s voice; friendly, confident and reassuring.
Sensing his strength and that he was there to protect her; she allowed herself to relax. In the distance she could hear sirens, they were coming for her. She was safe.
For now!
A well written story that is enjoyable and is a worthy addition to this series of stories. An American reader.

About the author

I was born in London, lived most of my life in the south of England. I only say that to excuse writing with a Sarff Lundin accint.
After a lifetime of not knowing what to do, RAF Officer, TV delivery driver, medical rep, trainer, computer guy … I'd even spent three summers running a naturist resort in Portugal. I decided to try something new and retired.
Lying by the pool in the South of France, a story started to take shape in my mind. Then the days got shorter, and the evenings longer, and I started to type. The string of random words turned into “The Uncovered Policeman.” Writing this story, I met the central characters, Bea being the most important. She nagged me into telling what turned into a series of 12 light, cosy romances with a cast of pleasant happy people, with quirky characters.
The New House trilogy, about a couple's first year of retirement in France, followed. “Almost a Year in Occitanie” - No, it is not autobiographical. OK, not very autobiographical.
More recently, Crooke and Loch launch their careers, solving mysteries and crimes in “The Summer of '71” and in a series of follow-up stories spanning the 1970s.
2020 marked the debut of another character … Melody. A lady of a certain age, a generous size and blinding intelligence, who first appears in "Problems and Passions."
The darkness of the great lockdown inspired some darker tales, for example "After The Event." As well as a few more escapist ones, such as "When The Music Stops" featuring the delightful Juliet Evans the singing solicitor

5.0 out of 5 stars Crooke & Loch continue to entertain
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am continually amazed and delighted by the connections to my own memories that are generated by Ted’s entertaining and informed prose. The spikes of recollections he elicits from passages of my own life are both surprising and excitingly heartwarming, drawing me fully into the story as if the characters were my own friends and family. Delightful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Part 3. Left me wanting part 4!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEnjoyed reading the latest instalment. Left me waiting for the next part.
Mick the unlikely hero and Sam the animate lady in his life, make an interesting pair to read about.
I’d enjoy reading more detail about their surrounds, and more about the characters and quirks of their acquaintances.
Thanks Mr B.
