A Murder in the Country (An Eve Duncan Murder Mystery Book 3)
By Julia Underwood
1941. England is at war.
Eve Duncan, an accidental private investigator, has had enough of bombed-out London. Not only has she had to deal with the fires and the destruction, the wailing of sirens and the screams of causalities, she has also found herself involved in two murder cases.
Her police mentor decides her delicate female spirits need a rest and she is given holiday leave. So she visits Little Barrington in the countryside to stay with her sister, Grace.
But what had promised to be a relaxing break away soon takes a dramatic turn.
Some of the evacuated children Grace is looking after stumble upon the remains of a body in a field. But no one in the village has been reported missing.
The police soon determine that the body belongs to a young woman, who has been dead for some time. Eve is determined to dig deeper to find out the identity of the mysterious woman. But before she can, someone else in the village finds themselves in grave danger.
Has the murderer returned? Is the dead woman related to someone in the village? Can Eve solve the mystery of the Murder in the Country…?
‘A Murder In The Country’ is a gripping murder mystery set during the second world war. It is a follow up to the best-selling ‘A Murder of No Account’ and ‘A Murder Close to Home’. It is perfect for fans of Philip Kerr and Alan Furst.
