The times, they are a-changing, as Gently and Bacchus realise during their latest case, which looks like a particularly grim and laugh-free episode of Hi-de-Hi.
It’s now 1969 and the permissive society has finally made it to the duo’s patch - or at least to a holiday camp that claims to embrace family values but is in fact a hotbed of sex and betrayal.
Gently and his sidekick are called in to investigate the murder of Meg, a popular, bubbly and talented blue coat at the camp.
