Death Speaks Softly (Detective Webb Murder Mysteries Book 4)
By Anthea Fraser
AN UNPUTDOWNABLE BRITISH CRIME MYSTERY SET IN THE VILLAGES OF SOUTH WEST ENGLAND.
For weeks, Detective David Webb hasn’t had a case to really sink his teeth into. Then a constable reports the mysterious disappearance of a female student.
Attractive and French, Arlette Picard is Broadshire University’s resident femme fatale. So, exploring the obvious avenues of jealousy, lust, and rejection, Webb easily gathers a list of suspects.
But by the time Arlette’s parents arrive from France, he’s no closer to finding their daughter – dead or alive.
He asks a university professor to act as interpreter. But is immediately perturbed by the man’s oddly vacant face. What could be the need for such iron self-discipline?
Webb has a hunch he’s missing the bigger picture. And if he doesn’t piece things together soon, there’ll be ramifications he couldn’t ever have guessed at.
Perfect for fans of Peter James, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Roger Silverwood, Roy Lewis, Agatha Christie, or Faith Martin.
