The Marsh and Daughter Casebook, Volume 2
By Amy Myers
This omnibus brings together four novels, books 5–8, from Amy Myers’ very popular ‘Marsh and Daughter’ series.
The first novel is Murder in the Mist, in which ex-cop Peter Marsh and his daughter Georgia find themselves in a neglected garden. It ceases to seem so idyllic when they discover that in 1949, Alwyn Field, one of the Fernbourne Five, hanged himself from one of its trees…
Murder Takes the Stage is the next story, and Peter and Georgia Marsh are in the Kentish seaside resort of Broadstairs. They’re on the trail of Georgia’s missing brother Rick, when they come across the strange tale of a haunted fish and chip shop. Tom, the ‘ghost’, was accused of the murder of his wife and apparently committed suicide – though his sweetheart, now seventy-four years old, has never given up hope of finding him.
Book 7 in the series is Murder on the Old Road. When Georgia and Peter Marsh encounter a group of oddly-dressed ‘pilgrims’ about to set out along the Old Road to Canterbury, it is clear that more is at stake than the play the Chillingham Drama Group is to perform.
The collection concludes with Murder in Abbott’s Folly, in which curiosity about a murder draws father-and-daughter team Peter and Georgia Marsh to attend a summer gala in honour of Jane Austen at a Georgian mansion in Kent. Instead of enjoying a literary-themed day out, they are thrust into a situation rapidly approaching boiling point.
This omnibus makes ideal reading for all who enjoy cosy English crime novels in the Christie tradition. Perfect for curling up by the fire on a winter’s evening or long hours relaxing on a beach in the summer, it will delight Myers’ many fans and no doubt gain her many more.
