Murder at the Nineteenth (Lambert and Hook British Crime Mysteries Book 1)
By J. M. Gregson
DISCOVER A PAGE-TURNING MURDER MYSTERY SET IN THE IDYLLIC COTSWOLD HILLS.
In the still, ominous valleys of Gloucestershire, Superintendent Lambert conducts a murder inquiry that yields five suspects, five motives, and five alibis. So who’s lying?
On a warm, heavy evening in late spring, Superintendent John Lambert is spending the end of a tedious day in his garden when the phone rings. James Shepherd, the Chairman of his golf club, urgently wants to meet.
Lambert arrives at dusk to find the clubhouse as quiet as the grave. And in the Committee Room: Shepherd, lying spreadeagled on the floor. His jacket is open, and in the centre of his white shirt, the handle of a heavy knife protrudes from a patch of still-fresh blood.
From among the Club Committee, Lambert identifies five chief suspects. He knows them well, and all are prominent members of the community.
Aided by the deceptively stolid Sergeant Bert Hook, his questioning of them yields five motives, five solid alibis, and not a single shred of remorse.
In the days that follow, amid a rapid succession of startling developments, Lambert and Hook will have to work hard and fast to find out which of the five is lying.
This gripping police procedural is perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Agatha Christie, L. J. Ross, Joy Ellis, M.C. Beaton, or Faith Martin.
