'Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers' Daily
Mail A pawn-shop robbery It's no rest for the wicked as Kate
Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But
exposing the culprit of a pawn-shop robbery turns sinister when her
investigation takes her to Harrogate - and murder is only one step
behind. A fatal stabbing A night at the theatre should have been
just what the doctor ordered, until Kate stumbles across a body in
the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely
suggests a killer in the theatre's midst. A ransom demand Kate
likes nothing better than solving mysteries. So when a ransom note
demands GBP1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady,
the refined streets of Harrogate play host to Kate's skills in
piecing together clues - and luring criminals out of their lairs .
. . ***A Medal For Murder is the second Kate Shackleton novel,
revamped with a brand-new look. More reissues in the series coming
soon.*** What readers are saying: 'I enjoyed book two as much as
book one and now reading book three. That says it all' *****
'Highly enjoyable and ideal for cosy mystery readers' ***** 'Best
book in the Kate Shackleton series so far' ***** 'An excellent
story well paced that keeps the reader turning pages. One of those
unable-to-put down books. Highly recommended' ***** 'I could lose
myself in the whole set if time allowed' ***** Praise for the Kate
Shackleton Series: 'The series is right up there with Miss Marple'
Sunday Sport 'Delightful' People's Friend 'Frances Brody matches a
heroine of free and independent spirit with a vivid evocation of
time and place . . . a novel to cherish' Barry Turner, Daily Mail
'Brody's excellent mystery splendidly captures the conflicts and
attitudes of the time with well-developed characters' RT Book
Reviews 'Kate Shackleton is a splendid heroine' Ann Granger 'Kate
Shackleton joins Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs in a subgroup
of young, female amateur detectives who survived and were matured
by their wartime experiences. As self-reliant women in a society
that still regards them a second-class citizens, they make
excellent heroines' Literary Review 'Frances Brody skilfully holds
our attention, making us want to read on and then look forward to
the next Kate Shackleton mystery' Gazette & Herald 'The author
keeps us highly entertained with an interesting and exciting plot,
impeccably researched, and a style of writing that has the reader
turning the pages eagerly to discover the truth of the mystery.
Francis Brody is fast becoming "the queen of light crime fiction"'
Gazette & Herald 'This is whimsical, colourful stuff and
readers will warm to the entrepreneurial yet fragile Kate' Take a
Break 'Refreshing and highly entertaining, especially for the
winter nights' Gazette & Herald 'Delightful . . . the series is
right up there with Miss Marple and the like. On top of that, the
covers are fantastic, too' Weekend Sport
