Murder at Standing Stone Manor
by Eric Brown

Donald Langham and Maria Dupré must navigate a rocky road to find a killer when a body is found next to a standing stone.

Newlyweds Donald Langham and Maria Dupré have moved to the country. They’re excited about starting a new life in the picturesque village of Ingoldby-over-Water – and about meeting their new neighbours.

But they’ve barely moved into Yew Tree Cottage when their new neighbour at Standing Stone Manor, Professor Edwin Robertshaw, invites Donald over to discuss some ‘fishy business’. Shortly after, a body is found by the professor’s precious standing stone in the manor grounds.

Donald and Maria discover tensions, disputes and resentment raging below the surface of this idyllic village, but can they find out which of the villagers is a cold-blooded killer?

Genre: amateur detectives, Private Investigators

Reviews

“Character-driven and filled with red herrings, a most enjoyable classic British read”

Kirkus Reviews

“Brown ... has a real knack for historical mystery; his version of Britain in the 1950s, especially the social strata that existed at the time, is vividly re-created and striking in its verisimilitude”

Booklist on Murder by Numbers

“Clever plot twists spin the dramatic premise into a gripping tale. Agatha Christie fans will have fun”

Publishers Weekly on Murder by Numbers

“A classic English mystery with plenty of unexpected plot twists”

Kirkus Reviews on Murder by Numbers

Booklist on Murder Served Cold
