About this ebook
'Maisie Cooper is a brilliant main character, an everyday Miss Marple!... I love cosy crime and I loved this book!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Maisie Cooper is no detective, thank you very much. But she might just solve a murder...
Maisie left the picture-perfect village of Framlington years ago. But when her brother Stephen asks for her help out of the blue she soon finds herself back among the windy lanes and open green fields.
But it's not the family reunion she hoped for - upon arrival she learns that she's too late. Stephen is dead. And not just dead - murdered.
Frustrated by the slow police investigation headed up by handsome Sergeant Wingard, Maisie determines to start asking questions herself.
But the longer Maisie stays, and the deeper she digs, the more she begins to sense something sinister at the heart of the village. What secrets are the residents so desperate to keep hidden? And what exactly was her brother going to tell her before his mysterious demise?
And when another death rocks the community, Maisie fears that she needs to catch the killer before they catch her...
Don't miss the next utterly charming instalment in the Maisie Cooper Mysteries, Murder at Sunny View, available to pre-order now!

Maisie Cooper is living in Paris when she is given a telephone message from her older brother Stephen, he's in trouble and he needs to see her. She promptly travels back to England to see him. only to discover that he is dead, drowned in a neighbour's swimming pool. It was quite fun reading a book set in the 1970s, with all the limitations that entails and I would be interested to see how this series develops. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
