By J. M. Gregson
DISCOVER A PAGE-TURNING MURDER MYSTERY SET IN THE IDYLLIC COTSWOLD HILLS.
Detectives Lambert and Hook are called out to a disturbing murder scene. A body is found propped up against an old stone wall in a village churchyard. A thick crust of blood around the victim’s neck.
The victim is Ted Giles, a well-liked chemistry teacher at the local school.
But Lambert and Hook soon discover Giles had a secret life. The unassuming, well-dressed schoolteacher was moonlighting as a male escort.
Between ex-wives, new lovers and repeat clients, the laundry list of suspects is stacking up.
Can Lambert and Hook narrow down the list of would-be killers to find the real murderer?
This gripping police procedural is perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Agatha Christie, L. J. Ross, Joy Ellis, M.C. Beaton, or Faith Martin.
