{"product_id":"9781856197144-secondhand-the-various-haunts-of-men","title":"The Various Haunts Of Men","description":"A lonely woman of 53 never returns from a morning run - hidden in her cupboard is an expensive pair of cugg-links with a note- 'To You, with all possible love from your devoted, Me'. A girl vanishes in the dusk - is it to do with her teenage crush on Dava, the blue-eyed ' therapist' whose speciality is 'inner harmony'? Experienced policemen know that most missing persons either turn up or go missing on purpose. But fresh-faced DS Freya Gresham won't drop it - what could possibly link the people who disappear on 'The Hill', young and old, men and women, even a little dog? In Various Haunts of Men, Susan Hill has created an absolutely convincing small cathedral town (within the orbit of a large urban city). She has peopled it with 'real' characters - the husband-and-wife GPs, the exceedingly dodgy surgeon, the grieving widow who is helped through the ritual of Christmas by her kindly neighbour, the down-to-earth flatmate ... and the tall blond police officer, Simon, who stands at the centre of an ordinary world in which gruesome things go on in lock-up garages.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888986796251,"sku":"9781856197144-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/80a85ec1-3910-4051-bf52-6b7022b2dfbb.jpg?v=1781791905","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781856197144-secondhand-the-various-haunts-of-men","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
