    Growing, growing, gone… 
    Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish. 
    Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing. 
    And he’s not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people – and some missing money to boot. 
    From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they’ve stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear… 
    In this humorous, cosy mystery novel, domestic satire and small-town suspicion collide in a story where everyone has something to hide. The fiction delivers steady thrills as the mystery spreads across Penrith, and the search for the missing becomes a race to avoid becoming the next disappearance. 
    For fans of Hannah Hendy (A Terrible Village Poisoning), Dee Macdonald (A Body at Lavender Cottage), Peter Boland (DEATH OF A WILD SWIMMER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Russell Cooper (Aubrey Hall), and Richard Osman (We Solve Murders).
