When Bunny Carter, the old lady from the Manor House, is discovered
in an open grave, Sophie Sayers is sure it's a case of foul play.
But when it comes to suspects, she's spoiled for choice. One of
Bunny's squabbling children from three different husbands? Petunia
Lot from the Cats Prevention charity, always angling for a legacy?
All these and more had motive and opportunity. But who is to blame?
And can Sophie and her boyfriend, village bookseller Hector Munro,
stop them before they strike again? Previously published by Debbie
Young.
The headline from The Maningpool Telegraph read: TRAGIC DEATH OF SIR
NOEL GRAMPIAN – shot during performance – Symphony Concert Calamity.
As a rousing Strauss piece is reaching its crescendo in Maningpool
Civic Hall, the talented yet obnoxious conductor Sir Noel Grampian is
shot dead in full view of the Municipal Orchestra and the audience. It
was no secret that he had many enemies – musicians and music critics
among them – but to be killed in mid flow suggests an act of the
coldest calculation.
Told through the letters and documents sent by D.I. Alan Hope to his
wife as he puzzles through the dauntingly vast pool of suspects and
scant physical evidence in the case, this is an innovative and playful
mystery underscored by the author’s extensive experience of the
highly-strung world of music professionals. First published in 1941,
this new edition returns Farr’s only crime novel to print to receive
its long-deserved encore.
'I really loved this . . . the beginning of an excellent series' 5
stars, Netgalley reader A killer stalks the streets of London . . .
When a priest is found crucified in a derelict North London chapel,
it makes a dramatic change for DI Charlie George and his squad at
Essex Road. The brutal murder could not be further from their
routine of domestic violence and stabbings on the estates. And
that's only the beginning . . . On Christmas Eve, a police officer
goes missing and his colleagues can't help but anticipate the
worst. It turns out they're right to when eventually the body is
found and they discover he's been stoned to death. As tensions
rise, it's up to Charlie and his team to venture into the city's
cold underbelly to try and find an answer to the madness . . .
before anyone else dies a martyr's death. Praise for Colin

Six people land on a desert island ready to make their reality show
debut.
The contestants are hungry to prove themselves. The stakes are high and
losing is not an option. But three weeks and eighteen episodes later,
five of the six contestants sit in a Portuguese police station, and
none of them are winners.
Because twelve million people were watching when Rhys Sutton died on
camera, and someone must pay for the crime.
The best friend, the rival, the girlfriend, the lover, and the sworn
enemy are left standing. And of course, no-one is talking. But how do
you keep secrets when the world has been watching?
Especially when, just a day before his murder, Rhys was the most hated
man on television.
