A COZY MURDER MYSTERY SET ON THE PICTURESQUE CUMBRIAN COAST

A young man is found dead at the bottom of the cliffs in Pelliter. His face has been slashed and his eyes have been gouged out.

He was last seen in the grounds of St Mungo’s school where new teacher Alison MacDonald has taken on Molly Spencer’s tricky Year Six class.

No one knows the dead man.

WHAT WAS HE DOING AT THE SCHOOL AND WHO IS HE?

Meanwhile, local odd couple Suzy and Robert are concerned about Suzy’s daughter Molly. She’s not doing so well at school and is acting up at home . . .

Then there’s another killing — a teacher is found brutally stabbed to death.

Secrets long buried are making an unwelcome reappearance . . .

Perfect for fans of Jeanne M. Dams, Frances Evesham, Betty Rowlands and M.C. Beaton.

What readers are saying about THE DEATH OF A TEACHER

“Another winner for Lis Howell.” Jill

“For once I could not pick who the killer was. I really like Lis Howell’s style of writing!” Betty

“I would recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries set in small communities with well-constructed characters and plots.” D.C.

THE DETECTIVE
Suzy Spencer
After her husband runs off with his PA, part-time TV producer Suzy is left to bring up their children alone in quiet, rural Tarnfield. Despite only moving there for Nick’s work, she’s actually grown to like the pace of village life, and has thrown herself into volunteering with the church.

THE SETTING
Beautiful, quiet and secluded, Tarnfield is a charming Cumbrian village where everyone knows everybody’s business. The local gossip is like a soap opera — except that the drama has been running for at least fifty years. The church plays a huge part in village life, but traditions are being upended by the new vicar and his fondness for playing the guitar during sermons.
