In this stand-alone story, (now part of a series) two recently graduated friends uncover an international fraud, but there is plenty of fun along the way to exposing it as Bobbie seeks her own form of revenge on those who cross her. This fast-moving light-hearted thriller moves from romance to hilarious adventure and back again with the gentle Bob Able humour and his distinctive writing style much in evidence. The story involves and captivates the reader, with an unexpected twist at the end, of course. We first met Roberta 'Bobbie' Bassington in the novel 'Double Life Insurance', but there have been enquiries into what happened next to this delightful, infuriating, vivacious, effervescent, fun-loving, red-headed explosion; and if you read that book, you may have wondered where her tip-tilted nose, enormous green eyes, and capacity for making things go off bang would turn up next. Well now it can be told, and as with everything involving Bobbie, it is quite likely to surprise you. >..... Glancing at his phone as it rang, Geoff was pleased to see that the caller was Roberta 'Bobbie' Bassington. This delightful if rather high-spirited girl was the daughter of his ex-wife's sister, who lived with her mother in the moth-eaten, but once rather grand, family home in Barton Matravers, Wilts. Geoff had always liked Roberta and fortunately his affection was returned. That was just as well for she was a girl of strong passions who, when roused, was quite likely to start something. With her petite frame, vivid auburn hair, pert upturned nose, and large green eyes she was certainly very attractive, but those eyes could also shoot flames for up to ten feet if she was thwarted in any of her little plans or schemes, as several of her short-lived boyfriends had found to their cost. Most of the time however Roberta, or Bobbie to her friends, was full of fun and a delightful charming girl. At least that was the general view of most of the cloud of hapless lovelorn suiters who followed her around. These estimable features, apart perhaps from the flame-shooting eyes, were not in evidence however when Geoff answered the call. 'Why, Uncle Geoffrey dear, has your wife inflicted her foul company on the old family home with, it would seem, the intention of making an extended stay?' she said. 'Eh?' said Geoff, not abreast. 'This loathsome aunt seems to have dug herself into the woodwork and refuses even the strongest entreaties to be gone. Have you been being unkind to her? And what suggestion have you for removing this impossible-to-satisfy human complaints department from the once peaceful old home and rolling sunlit lawns of Matravers Hall?' Roberta had recently graduated from Girton College, Cambridge, and given her manner of speech, Geoff wondered if she had been reading a little more Edwardian literature than was good for her. 'I'm sorry, I don't think I ...' he blustered. 'You heard you old blister. Why is your estranged wife here when she has a perfectly good house on the outskirts of a very pleasant bit of suburban commuter belt to infest instead?' 'I have no idea, ' said Geoff, collecting his wits, 'She made no mention of it to me. Is she being a nuisance?' Read on to find out more about Bobbie's adventures, a romance in Spain, how she stops an international fraud, and what the future holds for this irrepressible red-headed explosion!
