Synopsis "Fathom It Out (in English)"
Strange events are happening in the village. Terry Greene, the handsome gardener, who sets all female hearts aflutter, finds a half drowned Golden Retriever at the back of a client's garden, and Oliver, a scholarly, thirteen-year-old lexicographer, comes home with a black eye. Other dogs are going missing too and members of the local book club, who meet at The Crown and Sixpence, are most concerned. To add to all the mystery, Gladys, a retired widow, already acquainted with Oliver, is asked to look into the lad's uncharacteristic behaviour by his godfather, William. She then strikes up an unlikely friendship with eighteen-year-old Karen and her newly acquired Pomeranian. Thereby Gladys is reminded of the vagaries of youth. On top of all the mystery and youthful shenanigans, the church fete is on Saturday, where stalls have to be manned and money has to be raised.The loveable characters from Puzzling It Out are reunited in this entertaining tale of surprising friendships and skulldoggery!
