Product Description
Product Description
The discovery of a dead body shatters the tranquillity of a Cotswold village in Ann Granger's second Campbell and Carter mystery.
When old Monty Bickerstaffe finds a dead body in his drawing room it comes as a nasty surprise – the first of many. Monty lives alone in a crumbling Cotswold manor house and the last thing he wants is the police sniffing around his property. Not that he has anything to hide...
The identity of the corpse and how and why it was left in Monty’s home remain a mystery. The locals swear they’ve seen nothing unusual and Monty’s relatives claim they’ve never set eyes on the stiff before. But Inspector Jess Campbell is convinced that someone’s lying and, with the help of Superintendent Ian Carter, she must dig deep into Monty’s family history to reveal the shocking truth...

Format:Paperback
A drawing room murder with a little wit thrown in. Iam not a fan of Granger's Fran Vardy series but loved Markby and Mitchell. This was tame reading, at times ponderous. I don't like the word "stiff" which appeared very often to describe the body found on the sofa of Monty's Balaclava home. In spite of his unpopularity in the village I found Monty a bit of a charmer, sad with his harking back to his childhood trauma and his marriage to Penny, but Granger did create a character in him which is more than can be said about the very many other poeple who walked through the pages of this novel. The plot was weak and there were no real sub-plots to add interest. Disappointing.

In my opinion this is Ann Granger's best ever murder mystery with a brilliant ending of unguessable twist and turns - unputdownable

I found this book relaxing to read. Not too much violence or gore in it for a change. A before bedtime read.
