    I am just about to start the last of the Ravencroft books and must say that I am disappointed that there will be no more. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series and wish to thank Kerry Tombs for the many hours of pleasurable reading they have given me.
    It’s always difficult coming to the end of a good series as it means I have to search for the next author who can hold my attention for more than one novel. But first I shall hopefully enjoy Ravencroft’s Last Case.
    My sincere thanks once again
    Lesley Rufus
