This is the 39th book in the Neptune King series and once again the detectives breeze through their cases with ease. In One Threat Too Many they encounter a blast from the past when the victim turns out to be none other than a grownup Holly Dolling whom they encountered six years previously when they were undercover in a private girl's school. As a fifteen-year old, Holly had tried blackmailing Neptune and they suspected that this was the cause of her murder now. In A Guilty Conscience they're hired by a new widow, Mrs Gibson whose husband was murdered on the weekend. The last to see him alive were his three friends with whom he'd been playing cards. The friends believe he committed suicide, but the wife disagrees with this as he had too much to live for. They were expecting their first child. He had no known enemies and was well liked. Neptune however suspects that the motive for the murder is something from his past. They find evidence to support that theory when they search his home office and set about solving the eleven year old murder of a publican's daughter in an attempt to link it to the current one. In Two Sides to the Story, their client is again a grieving widow. Her husband was a generous, friendly well-liked storekeeper who was murdered in his shop. At least that's what the wife thought. On talking to her they learn that her husband, Ernest was mourning his brother who had been murdered some eight months earlier. The fact that both Brumby brothers had been murdered is a red flag to our intrepid detectives, so they set about solving both murders only to learn that not all is as it seems. It disheartens Neptune somewhat when he realizes that the one thing all these cases have in common is that the victims deserved what they got.
