Utterly Reclaimed

Sleepy Suffolk UK wakes up to the news that a man has been found hanging in a reclamation yard near Bury St Edmunds. Within days, a bronze statue is stolen, and a broken automaton with a singing-bird mechanism arouses suspicion.

Can there be a connection? The action spreads from Thorpe Morieux through to Lavenham and Woodbridge. Chrissie, Nick and Matt, friends since a carpentry course at Stowmarket's Utterly Academy, find themselves caught up with a sinister network dealing in stolen metal and scrap.

Add a darkly brooding young man, a rundown pizza delivery service, a spooky car-wrecking yard, and DI Clive Merry, and you have another entertaining narration from AJ Deane. Pauline's quirky characters, previously encountered in Utterly: Explosive, Fuelled, & Rafted, fly by the seat of their pants through a plot filled with twists, deceit and bluff as the stakes are raised.

British English with a little light swearing. A British cosy crime mystery, thriller suspense with strong threads of friendship.
