The Chortleford Mystery: Murder comes to the Kent countryside - Paperback

by Peter Chegwidden (Author)

Murder comes to the Kent countryside and a quiet little unassuming village.Everyone knew who the killer was, so why didn't the police do something?A lovely old gentleman is slain in his back garden and everyone was sure his wicked stepson, Michael Martyn, carried out the dreadful deed. And Martyn has plenty of secrets he wants left hidden.But it transpires there are other secrets in this rural settlement.If you like your murder mysteries in a less than serious and more genteel and cosy vein, tinged with humour, set in glorious bucolic surroundings, and with just enough sauce added to make it spicy, then this tale's for you.Village gossip takes hold, the police seemed baffled, a too-clever-by-half local reporter gets involved, and then, inevitably, another murder takes place.And secrets are uncovered.One by one.
