DEATH OF A FRIEND an absolutely gripping English cozy mystery (West Country Murder Mysteries Book 3)
By REBECCA TOPE
Discover a new cozy mystery series that will have you totally absorbed. Set in the beautiful Devon countryside, a place where there are more murders than you would expect, and a tight-knit community full of dark secrets . . .
Local police inspector DC Den Cooper is settling into life in the sleepy village he now calls home when two suspicious deaths shake him from his reverie.
First, an animal rights activist dies after being headbutted by a horse at a local Devon hunt. There’s no sympathy from the villagers who feel Nina Cattermole was meddling where she had no place to be, and they remain suspicious of Nina’s eccentric family.
Then another passionate anti-hunting protestor, Charlie Gratton, is found dead in a ditch on the day of Nina’s funeral, his head bashed in.
Charlie’s injuries indicate he was trampled by a horse. But who was the rider . . . ? Den smells something darker than horse manure in the country air.
With so many openly hostile villagers on one side and Nina’s mysterious family on the other, can Den solve this mystery, or will the real killer gallop away from justice once more?
Discover a beautifully written cozy crime series set in the idyllic English countryside, from bestselling author Rebecca Tope. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Jeanne M. Dams, M.C. Beaton and Betty Rowlands.
