The Complete Detective Suzie Mountford Mysteries
By John Gardner
GET *ALL FIVE* GRIPPING WARTIME MURDER MYSTERIES IN THIS SUPERB-VALUE BOX SET.
London, 1940. The Luftwaffe assault is relentless. London is in ruins. Normal life has been suspended, but murders still need to be solved . . .
MEET DETECTIVE SUZIE MOUNTFORD.
At just 22, Detective Suzie Mountford knows she has a lot to prove. She’s only been promoted to CID because all the experienced male officers have been called up to fight. Her parents don’t think it’s suitable for a woman to be ‘mixed up in all that business’ and, when her picture appears on the front page of all the dailies, her superiors think she’s got above her station too.
But no-one has factored in Suzie’s grit and determination. As bombs fall nightly over London, she has no idea if she’ll make it to the next morning — which only makes her even more keen to catch the killers who stalk the city streets under cover of the blackout.
Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Edward Marston, Jim Eldridge, Martin Edwards and Gretta Mulrooney.
