Jordan Lacy, Latching's zany private eye, is thrown in the deep end ? literally ? when fishing rods start disappearing from the pier. Next, stolen pedigree puppies start adding to her case load. But it all gets more serious when one of the anglers is found hanging in the bell tower of a church, his past life shrouded in mystery. Then a cache of diamonds go missing from a raided security box and a revengeful gang member is determined to find out where they are hidden. The personal stakes are upped as a series of planned road crashes shakes Jordan's sense of security. And when the love of her life, DI James, announces his transfer to Yorkshire, she knows she will have to claw her way back to sanity.

About the Author:

Whitelaw began her writing career as a cub reporter on a newspaper and becme the youngest female chief reporter in London. She has had over thirty novels published, as well as approximately 230 short stories.

From AudioFile:

Julia Barrie's breezy but firm British intonations perfectly mesh with the misadventures of Whitelaw's feisty and zany PI, Jordan Lacey. The story offers charming glimpses of coastal village life, where the crimes include stolen pedigreed Chihuahuas, a missing cache of diamonds, the murder of a fisherman, and a car insurance scam. All of these keep the action, humor, and romance flowing. Barrie provides clear, distinctive voices for Jordan and DI James, as well as the many villagers. Fans of this likable series will easily identify Jordan through Barrie's energetic characterization. With RING AND DIE, Barrie proves her capabilities as a talented, versatile narrator. S.C.A.
