Summary
Whilst she and Paul are staying in the fishing village of Downburgh, Steve gets the uneasy feeling that she is being watched by a man at Fisherman's Point. A pleasant boat trip turns into a nightmare when their craft gets shot at, and the boatman himself is later discovered drowned at sea. Back in London, the daughter of the head of CI5 has disappeared, and Sir Graham brings the matter to Paul's attention. Could there be a connection between this and the events in Downburgh? In finding out, Paul and Steve find they are in peril once again.

By Timothy, Steve!
Would you listen to Paul Temple and the Lawrence Affair (Dramatised) again? Why?
Lovers of the series of dramatisations of the Paul Temple stories featuring Peter Coke and Marjorie Westbury will need no persuading to listen again to these stories.
What other book might you compare Paul Temple and the Lawrence Affair (Dramatised) to, and why?
For elegant plots and witty writing I would recommend any of the "period" detective series - Lord Peter Wimsey, Margery Allingham, Father Brown, Bulldog Drummond, etc.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Has to be the final cocktail party when Paul Temple invites all the suspects and reveals the criminal - usually with a fantastic escape and chase to follow!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This is a light-hearted drama which will make you smile.

Pure escapism
These stories are pure escapism, and reveal so much about the era they were written, old fashioned and frequently sexist (the wife, Stevie, so often is the one who picks up the clues, or works out the motives not because she is smart you understand, but because she uses her "intuition"). Book after book, they find people, half dead, groaning in the bushes, bombs in car, and poison in drinks. The working classes are "the salt of the earth", women have "pasts" and dry martini's are to die for. And yet, and yet, theres something about the stories that is really relaxing and fun, or as Paul Temple might say "by Timothy they are good".............
