IN A QUIET COTSWOLD VILLAGE ALL HELL IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE.
Monica Noble is throwing a party to welcome the village's new residents. The guests include celebrity chef Sean and his wife Margaret. Also on the list are an Oxford university professor, a 40-something divorcee, and the owner of a chain of gyms.
Then as the drinks are flowing, a shotgun blast rings out. One of the guests is found dead.
DCI Dury and Sergeant Jim Greer are soon on the scene and discover that the victim had many enemies. Almost all the guests harbour secrets and motives for murder. Even Monica's daughter comes under suspicion.
When another villager is strangled to death nearly a week later, the stakes are raised.
Can Monica help the local detectives save her daughter and solve the murders before anyone else pays the ultimate price?
This is the first of a series of enjoyable murder mysteries with great characters and baffling crimes which will keep you gripped till the final page.
Please note this book was first published as An Unholy Mess under Faith Martin's pen name Joyce Cato.
Perfect for fans of classic whodunits by authors like Agatha Christie, L.J. Ross, Simon Brett, Richard Osman and the Rev Richard Coles.
MEET THE AMATEUR SLEUTH
Monica Noble was widowed young, leaving her to raise her feisty daughter on her own. That is, until she met and fell in love with Graham Noble, a country vicar (pastor), who enticed her to leave her high-flying job in advertising in the city and move to the Cotswold countryside. There she found bucolic life very pleasant indeed - until murder started to rear its ugly head. And she discovered, to everyone's surprise, that she had a flair for solving the most unholy of crimes.
