MURDER IN A BEAUTIFUL COTSWOLDS VILLAGE
An almost fresh body is discovered in a disused well among the ruins of a fourteenth century manor house.
The victim was a widow who had lived quietly in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Folly-on-Weir for the past ten years. Who on earth could want her dead, and by such brutal means? There are rumours about the men she was involved with.
Once again, amateur detective Alex Duggins and her veterinarian friend Tony Harrison are thrown into a major murder investigation.
As rumour and speculation engulf the village, another woman is attacked – and Alex discovers that behind a tranquil face lurks a cunning and vengeful mind.
Despite warnings from the police to stop interfering, Alex finds herself in the sights of a ruthless killer who has decided she knows too much.
Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, J R Ellis, and Clare Chase.
Stella Cameron is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author with over fourteen million copies of her books in print.
MEET ALEX AND TONY
People think Alex is the perfect girl-next-door, but she’s made of sterner stuff than most girls-next-door. Divorced pub owner and graphic artist, she meets challenges head on, especially when she decides to stand up for justice and the underdog. Alex is no stranger to trouble, never has been since she was a scrappy young girl with no dad, and a mum working around the clock to keep them together.
Alex’s friend Tony Harrison is a vet—to the disappointment of his GP dad. A quiet man with a sharp wit and strong belief in the goodness of others, he has taken hard knocks, not the least of these, the loss of a young wife who disappeared, never to be found.
THE VILLAGE
A view of Folly from The Hill—as locals call it—is cause for a smile in any season. Let’s try December, early on a cold morning. Snow covers frozen twigs that crackle beneath your feet. The snowfall is only a fine swirl now. On a high point to the west stands ruined Tinley Tower, the folly the village was named for. Below, across the green with its frozen duck pond, honey-yellow cottages huddle. Thin smoke straggles from chimneys and lights shine through small leaded windows. Villagers wake early here. The Black Dog, Alex Duggins’ pub, sits at the heart of it all, strands of colored lights shining along its eves. George’s bakery van is already on its rounds, as is the Lovell’s Dairy lorry. It’s too early for the scarlet-blazered children to be climbing on the school bus, but dog walkers are already marching through the narrow streets and across the green. Idyllic. Deceptively so?
