She and Bobby have been friends since childhood, and when Bobby is pulled into a mystery she teams up with him to solve the puzzle of a dying man's words: "Why didn't they ask Evans?" The plot line is full of twists and turns and you will be surprised at where you end up! This is a fun story with a good puzzle, but the main reason I return for a periodic listen is the characters. The mysterious death of a stranger prompts amateur detectives Bobby Jones (Will Poulter) and Frankie Derwent (Lucy Boynton) to set. Lady Frankie, daughter of the local peer, is bright and vivacious with a flashing intelligence. He plays golf but not well, and he is smart but not brilliant, and he is steady, persevering and trustworthy. Bobby is worried about his dad's health and wondering how long he can stand living at home to look after his father. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled.
The vicar is wondering when his son Bobby, who is fresh out of the Navy, is going to decide on a new career and DO something and get out of the house. While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. This is a really different Agatha Christie as it is not Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Superintendant Battle or Parker Pyne! It is a stand-alone novel with a good puzzle and a bit of romance. Why didnt they ask Evans by Agatha Christie 2.
