Julia Chapman's sixth Dales Detective Agency novel, "Date with Deceit," sees Delilah going undercover at a shoot involving dangerous criminals. This captivating cozy crime mystery is perfect for fans of Richard Osman's "The Thursday Murder Club" and M.C. Beaton.

A woman in tears at the Dales Detective Agency is never the best way to start the week, and when it's the town mayor's wife, asking the detective to investigate whether her husband is having an affair, Samson OBrien and Delilah Metcalfe know they will have to tread carefully.

The case, however, proves to be more complex than even they had imagined. While Delilah is undercover at a local shoot to better keep tabs on the errant husband, she is on the scene for a fatal incident that sends the Yorkshire town into turmoil. Soon, the detective duo is embroiled in a far more serious investigation than mere infidelity. Deceit is rife in Bruncliffe, and it may well prove deadly.

Curl up with this delightful murder mystery, full of wit, warmth, and a cast of charming characters. Continue the series with "Date With Betrayal."

A classic whodunit set in the spectacular landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, this satisfying read is riddled with dry Yorkshire humor (and dry stone walls). - Cath Staincliffe, author of the Scott & Bailey series.
