Snow Angel - Paperback

British crime fiction where characters become people and place is part of the story.

Love is a driving passion.

So is hate.

December in a small Devonshire village is the perfect time for a Yuletide fête, a wedding or a murder.

Now retired, Beatrice Stubbs is busy with wedding preparations. Not for herself - co-habiting with Matthew is as far as she's prepared to commit - but Adrian and Will are getting married. She's Chief Bridesmaid and the theme is Narnia.

When a local celebrity dies in suspicious circumstances, Matthew encourages Beatrice to do a little private investigating. Her enquiries turn up more than predicted and she discovers her nearest and dearest are capable of deceit.

A snowstorm hits the village and Beatrice chases a lead, throwing everyone's plans into disarray and threatening lives. Ancient forests conceal a complex web of connections and loyalties, false reputations and poison.

Each book works as a stand-alone novel.

If you enjoy PD James, LJ Ross and Agatha Christie, you'll love Snow Angel.

"A classic village murder mystery, packed with comforts and crimes at Christmas with rural traditions at its heart" - Debbie Young, author of The Sophie Sayers Mysteries.
