Twist of Fete

Tom Clancy Meets Morris Dancing During its annual summer fete, an idyllic English seaside village suddenly finds itself plunged into chaos when faced with terrifying threats, a litany of deceit, surfacing hatred and death. That's before teatime. The police are baffled and turn to the one person who might help expose the guilty and uncover their secrets - the village shopkeeper, postmaster and amateur detective, Stanley Accrington. In a race against time, can Stanley shed any light on those dark secrets before it's too late? Can he discover the truth quickly enough to save lives? Can he stop the people who want to stop him? Can he come to terms with his own demons? The first in a series of Stanley Accrington mysteries, Twist of Fete bubbles with unforgettable characters and almost unbearable tension. Simon Maier serves up a nail-biting, occasionally disturbing and frequently shocking murder mystery with a plateful of spite, smiles, surprises and, of course, cake.
