The fourth in a series of crime novels featuring Gina Gray and DCI David Scott, Weep A While Longer sets cosy Middle England against a dark crime. Picking up her granddaughter from nursery one summer afternoon, Gina Gray notices a mother and child with a dog. A few hours later she sees their faces on the TV screen, victims of a brutal murder. DCI David Scott, Gina's semi-detached partner, is determined to keep her out of the investigation but nothing can prevent her from witnessing the case's terrifying denouement. The murder case is not the only thing preoccupying her, however. Her mother, her granddaughter, her job, her house invaded by her daughter's student friends, the costumes for open air Shakespeare in the Minster grounds and, not least, her relationship with David Scott, all combine to distract her. As the police pursue the killer, Gina's life at work and at home is running out of control. When the crash comes, just how bad will it be?
