Rafferty is suckered into aiding and abetting in a murder and of course it all goes downhill from there. The writing itself is not bad and I can see a reader getting caught up in the humor and the characters but there was way too much inconsequential filler that does absolutely nothing to advance the story. About halfway through I found I had to go back and reread to see if by some chance I had missed something. I also found that the "romance" lines between Rafferty and Hilda would have better suited a couple in high school than two middle aged adults.… (más)
Fifteen years have passed since policeman Rafferty saved Vivian Mollison life from a crazed junkie. Now he is being employed as a private investigator by her parents to trace the bikers who had recently 'kidnapped' her and left her stranded.
An enjoyable quick and easy read, with some likeable wise-cracking characters.

Rafferty is on holiday, alone on a boat. It starts well as he is accused of the murder of Cynthia Lawson, then gets beaten up. This makes him involved. But why was she killed and by whom.
