Summary
Julia Chapman's fifth Dales Detectives Agency novel, Date With Danger, sees our intrepid leads Samson and Delilah on the trail of a sheep rustler turned killer. A heartwarming cosy crime caper, perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club and M.C. Beaton.
In the heart of Yorkshire, the Dales Detective Agency is about to face its biggest challenge.
A fatal accident at the local livestock auction mart summons the detective duo Samson O’Brien and Delilah Metcalfe, but what starts as a simple health-and-safety investigation soon takes a sinister turn when they discover evidence that suggests murder.
With local sheep being threatened by a gang of rustlers plaguing the Dales, and poacher Pete Ferris setting in motion a blackmail plot that will see Samson pulled back into trouble with his nemesis Rick Proctor, all three cases are about to converge.
Samson and Delilah are now going to find their next investigation is fraught with danger; a danger that will leave them fighting for their lives . . .
Full of wit, warmth and colourful characters, continue the comforting mystery series with Date with Deceit.

Phew!!! A close thing eh Sampson and Delilah......
I have listened to all of the series so far back to back....they have me gripped, very much like the Midsummer Murder TV series, the obvious culprit is not the one you should keep your eye on, throw away phrases or incidents that later prove vital....the love interest obviously growing and the main protagonist still just about getting away with their antics....no spoilers but I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire series so far, really looking forward to episode 6 of the Dales Detective series.....

Absolutely Absorbing
I've loved every one of this series. Being involved in Agriculture all of my life I can say that the references to farming and particularly this story revolving around an auction mart are accurate and for me make the stories even more exciting and enjoyable. Well done Julia Chapman.

Quintessential cosy crime drama
I discovered this series by accident and I have absolutely loved it and I’m desperate for the next book to be available. If you like English cosy country crime books then you will love this series.
