À propos de cet ebook
'Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers' DAILY MAIL
A charming historical mystery set in 1960s Yorkshire, starring prisoner governor and amateur sleuth Nell Lewis. This is the perfect page-turner if you love Agatha Christie and Jacqueline Winspear.
___________
Yorkshire, 1969. Nell Lewis is four months into her new role as governor of HMP Brackerley when the prison takes on a catering contract for Brackerley village's wedding of the year.
Almost all the female inmates are delighted to be involved in the celebrations, though Linda is desperate to avoid the event in case she is spotted, photographed, and once more appears on the front pages of the gutter press.
During the wedding reception, one of the inmates discovers the father of the bride, Mr Chapin, stabbed to death behind the marquee.
The murder shocks the close-knit village and police enlist Nell's help to solve the mystery. There are multiple suspects at the wedding, all with strong motives for wanting Mr Chapin dead, but the prison workforce was closest to the scene of the crime . . .
What readers are saying about Frances Brody:
'Witty, acerbic and very, very perceptive' Ann Cleeves
'A splendid heroine' Ann Granger
'Have just read the most fun book in ages. Writing is witty, funny, perfect yet not dismissive of murders at its heart' @StairwellBooks
