About Date with Destiny

Don't miss the final instalment in the Dales Detective series! From death to danger and malice to mystery, Samson and Delilah have weathered many storms. Finally, things should be going smoothly. Except life’s never that simple in Bruncliffe, is it? As the couple are beset with worries about their upcoming wedding, a charismatic celebrity comes knocking on the Dales Detective Agency’s door, seeking their services. Samson is initially reluctant to help, for many reasons. But things quickly escalate following a shocking murder at Fellside Court and, as a friend comes under suspicion, Samson and Delilah must set aside their personal problems to catch a killer. In a case that will bring so many of Bruncliffe’s secrets out into the open, this final investigation for the Dales Detectives may be the one that breaks them for ever . . . Date with Destiny is the final instalment in Julia Chapman's much-loved Dales Detective series set in Yorkshire. Praise for The Dales Detective series: 'Chapman has an enviable talent for sharing the ups and downs of country life. Fans of The Archers will lap it up' - Daily Mail 'Enlivened with numerous subplots, the story moves at a cracking pace' – Daily Mail 'Bags of Yorkshire charm and wit' – Northern Echo 'A classic whodunnit' – Cath Staincliffe, author of Blue Murder 'Full of dry wit and clever plotting' – Countryside
