Private Lives, another
Bob Robbins Home Front Mystery,
was published on 12th February 2020.
England 1942. While reluctant wartime detective Bob Robbins is
enjoying a few days’ holiday on the North Devon coast he becomes
involved in a shooting incident on a derelict farm. An elderly farmer
lies injured, and then disappears. A young man is found dead in
the barn. Bob reports the incident to the local police in Bideford,
but they are so over-stretched with extra Home Front duties he finds
himself in charge of the case. In urgent need of assistance, Bob
requests the help of the young police recruit Laurie Oliver. They
take rooms at Peony Villas, an unusual sort of guest house where
a troupe of London actors are in residence, and where Bob soon finds
himself involved in yet another peculiar mystery.
