Death in Disguise
|
(1989) The players of the Causton Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) were well rehearsed and ready for their opening night production of Amadeus. But no one was prepared for the leading man to give his all to the climactic scene. With one dramatic sweep of the razor across his throat, "Saieri" fell to the floor, bright blood flowing from his neck. Shrieks of horror followed. It was a grand performance, and the last one the actor would ever give. Who removed the safety tape from the razor? The star's jealous ex-wife? His promiscuous widow? Was it her known lover ... or a secret one? The friendly little drama group turns out to be a hornet's nest of feuding, fragile egos, scandalous secrets, and wickedly amusing motives. And it's up to Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy to collar the culprit ... before the curtain goes down on another victim. |

The Killings at Badger's Drift
|
Murder at Madingley Grange (1990) When Simon Hannaford is left temporarily in charge of his aunt's 20-bedroom Gothic pile he knows he must be able to make a profit from it somehow. Murder, he decides, is the only way to do it. For Madingley Grange is the perfect venue for a 1930s mystery weekend and, before long, he and his long-suffering sister have set the stage for money-spinning mayhem. From the Conservatory to the contents of the claret cellar the clues are sprinkled like pot pourri, and the hired retainers Gaunt and Bennet provide the finishing touch. But when the guests arrive it is obvious that the business of murder is bound to run off course. For neither Derek, who refuses to relinquish his deerstalker, nor Mrs. Gibbs, a card-sharping grandmother, nor Gillette, the 30s fiend complete with ukelele, nor any of the other ill-assorted bunch is happy to play the victim. And when a body does appear, it hardly takes a Hercule Poirot to guess it is not a volunteer. The game of detection must begin in earnest... |

Written in Blood
Back to MYSTERY
Tucked
away in the charming English village of Ferne Basset, the
local rectory is supposed to be a place of safety, not
danger. So when ex-vicar Lionel Lawrence opens the
rectory to help young offenders he has no way of
predicting the consequences--least of all that they will
include blackmail and murder. The mysterious
disappearance of the wild Carlotta, his most recent
charge, seems to involve both. And not only has Carlotta
vanished, but village resident Charlie Leathers is found
dead. Although Charlie was not the most popular man in
town, few people seemed to hate him enough to murder him.
