BOOK DESCRIPTION: A series of threatening letters, a forgotten figure from the past, and a killer out to settle scores…
England 1928. Mystery writer Marius Quin receives alarming news from his sleuthing partner Lady Bella Montague that their childhood friends are in danger. Back in their charming village of Hurtwood, the three Heaton cousins have all been sent identical death threats. When the local constable refuses to help, it’s up to Marius and Bella to stop the would-be killer. But they arrive too late, and Marius finds his former best friend dead in his kitchen with a knife through the heart…
Who in this tightly knit community wants to eliminate the Heaton family? Between shady business practices, fierce competition over the village’s best garden award, and the tragic tale of a soldier who never returned from the war, it’s more a case of who doesn’t? With the clock ticking, can Bella and Marius figure out the mystery before the two remaining cousins meet their fate?
A captivating and warm-hearted 1920s cozy mystery to delight fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey and Lee Strauss!
Readers love the Marius Quin mysteries:
‘My first book by this author but I absolutely loved it! Adored the period setting and how the 1920s were brought so vividly to life. This was a twisty-turny mystery that kept me guessing to the end… A cross between Agatha Christie and PG Wodehouse,this is an engaging, witty story that made me laugh and kept me hooked.’ Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘Absolutely fabulous… While I hate to use the cliche of unputdownable, it really was. More of this crime fighting duo please.’ Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
