Murder in the Village
'This book was absolutely tremendous!...this mystery is definitely a five-star read!' ????? Reader Review
A murder in a locked room... can Nancy and Jane find the key to the case?
Nancy Hunter is on a mission to find her mother. Samantha Hunter walked out on her family and left the village of Dedley End over twenty years ago. For two decades, Nancy has thought her mother was dead...until she discovered she was spotted at a party at a country estate five months ago.
As Nancy delves into the mystery in her own family, the village of Dedley End is rocked by the appearance of Sebastian Holmes, recently released from a long stretch in prison for his part in a jewellery robbery in London. And when someone is found murdered in the local church, it seems that there may be more danger hiding in their sleepy Cotswold village...
Nancy and her grandmother Jane, Dedley End's resident amateur sleuths and owners of a crime fiction bookshop, set about trying to solve the mystery of just who could be the killer, and how they managed a murder in a locked room - but what they don't know is that finding the murderer might just bring them closer to finding Samantha. But does she want to be found? And what made her hide away for so many years?
A twisty and unputdownable cozy mystery featuring a grandmother and granddaughter detective duo - if you're a fan of The Bingo Hall Detectives, Robert Thorogood or The Thursday Murder Club, you'll love this!
