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

by Lesley Cookman (Author)

Synopsis

New edition includes map of Steeple Martin, list of characters and free bonus chapter from the next title in the bestselling Libby Sarjeant Murder Mystery series. Artist and ex-actress Libby Sarjeant is busy directing a play for the opening of a new theatre in her village when one of her cast is found murdered. The play, written by her friend Peter, is based on real events in his family, disturbing and mysterious, which took place in the village during the last war. As the investigation into the murder begins to uncover a tangled web of relationships in the village, it seems that the events dramatised in the play still cast a long shadow, dark enough to inspire murder. Libby's natural nosiness soon leads her into the thick of the investigation, but is she too close to Peter's family, and in particular his cousin Ben, to be able to recognise the murderer?

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 *
