Delivering twist after brilliant twist, this clever whodunnit is sure to keep you guessing until the final page.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Oldminster, a quaint little town where there\u2019s always a mystery to be solved.<\/p>\n

Frank Renfield, Baron of Renfield Hall, will stop at nothing to save himself from ruin. Even if that means marrying his daughter off to a rich American.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for him, she is already in love with a penniless nobody named Alan Lavender \u2014 to the glee of Alan\u2019s greedy uncle Guy.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been nosing into the Renfields\u2019 murky past, and he says he\u2019s uncovered a secret. Something so shocking it casts a shadow over Frank\u2019s entire legacy.<\/p>\n

Tensions run high at the hall, until Guy Lavender turns up dead.<\/p>\n

A convenient coincidence for Frank?<\/p>\n

Detectives French and Edwards are on the case. But in a town full of secrets, the truth can be hard to find.<\/p>\n

And Guy\u2019s won\u2019t be the only body to fall before their work is done . . .<\/p>\n

Who will be next to die under the Renfields\u2019 roof?<\/p>\n

Perfect for fans of Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie, Frances Lloyd, Catherine Moloney, Anthony Horowitz, or Ann Cleeves.<\/p>\n

What everyone is saying:<\/p>\n

\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cCrime, murder, debt, revenge, family, image, obsession, past impacting the present . . . so many emotions and motivations in this book!\u201d Cathy<\/p>\n

\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cWith a plot containing blackmail, several murders, secondary characters who are more rounded than in many other novels, good pacing, and good style, this is a novel that I relished to the end.\u201d Michael<\/p>\n

\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cThis is a quality modern-day murder mystery but with an old-fashioned feel. Well written and entertaining with excellent characterization throughout, plenty of plot twists and turns . . . certainly more than enough for this reader at any rate. Authentic and engaging from first to last page. Highly recommended.\u201d John<\/p>\n

\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cA fantastic mystery that is well written and has great characters. I loved this book and want to read more from this author.\u201d Cristie<\/p>\n

THE SETTING
Oldminster is a city with a past and an ancient cathedral at its heart. Visit the twisty maze-like streets of the old quarter, and prepare to fall in love. But cross over the river \u2014 to the seamy side of town \u2014 and you\u2019ll discover a secret side to this picture-perfect little place. Oldminster might seem like a place for summer rain and golden sunsets, but like Miss Marple\u2019s village, it\u2019s cram-full of wickedness.<\/p>\n

THE DETECTIVES
DS Glyn Edwards
Thirty-something DS Edwards lives with his wife Sandra, but his home life is anything but blissful. Is his career about to cost him his marriage? Or can he find a way to reconcile the two? Either way, Glyn is a very hands-on detective who never gives up on a case. He works hand-in-glove with his superior officer . . .<\/p>\n

DI French
Redoubtable Detective French has always been a stickler for order, detail and procedure \u2014 until the arrival of his baby daughter late in his marriage to Moira turned his orderly world upside down. Still, he doesn\u2019t suffer fools gladly, and is more than a match for certain prickly, well-to-do residents of Oldminster.<\/p>\n
