The Seven Stars (Detective Webb Murder Mysteries Book 12)
By Anthea Fraser
DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE MURDER MYSTERY SERIES BY ONE OF BRITAIN’S MOST EMINENT CRIME WRITERS.
Helen Campbell’s decision to turn off a foggy road and spend the night at the Seven Stars guesthouse will have far-reaching consequences.
As Helen turns into the car park, she witnesses a heated argument, and a young woman runs off into the night. But the hosts are welcoming and she thinks nothing more of it.
A few hours later, Detective Webb comes across a fatal hit-and-run nearby. An accident . . . or murder?
Webb is convinced there is a link with this death and a spate of robberies targeting local country houses. But with little evidence, he can’t prove it.
Meanwhile, Helen returns to the Seven Stars to attend a local antiques course.
Is it her imagination or are her hosts a lot less friendly?
As Detective Webb strives to crack two outwardly unconnected cases, Helen unwittingly holds the key that might just solve them both.
But at what cost to her own life?
Perfect for fans of Peter James, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Roger Silverwood, Roy Lewis, Agatha Christie, or Faith Martin.
