Murder in Steeple Martin (Libby Sarjeant Mysteries 1): A Libby Sarjeant Murder Mystery (A Libby Sarjeant Murder Mystery Series)

by Lesley Cookman (Author)

Synopsis

In the tradition of Paul Gallico's classic "Too Many Ghosts" with a touch of Caroline Graham's "Midsomer" series, and a hint of Katie Forde's rural romance, this is a tale of engaging misfits and muddlers in a Kent village, whose theatrical endeavours rouse the long arm of the past with murderous consequences. 'Artist Libby Sarjeant's fresh start in a picturesque Kent village includes an exciting new venture - the Oast House Theatre. She never expects it to include a new romance in the form of Ben, but who's complaining? She just isn't expecting ingredients three, four and five: mystery, intrigue, and the shadow of old murder...' First in a new series - watch out for more murder mysteries featuring middle aged actress come investigator, Libby Sarjeant.

Media Reviews
The stories feature ex-actress Libby Sarjeant and are set in a small village in Kent. 'Delightful. The characters are quirky, the dialogue witty, and the plot revolves around the theatre. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the others. A hit for all you lovers of the traditional English cosy.' Marian Misters -- Marian Misters * SLEUTH OF BAKER STREET *
