Bury in Haste
by Jean Rowden

A CHARMING MURDER MYSTERY SET IN THE 1950s

Life has always been quiet for Constable ‘Thorny’ Deepbriar, until there’s a kidnapping on his turf. Newly-married young Joe Spraggs is abducted, then turns up the next day, baffled but unharmed.

Then a second man — mysteriously also named Joe Spraggs — goes missing. Deepbriar finds himself at the heart of the investigation. The pressure’s on as the rest of the force has come down with the flu.

Minecliff is a quiet little place. The biggest excitement is usually a performance at the village hall. Constable Deepbriar dreams of trying his hand at serious sleuthing. Now is his big chance.

HOW CAN HE CONVINCE HIS SUPERIORS THAT SOMETHING SINISTER IS GOING ON IN THEIR COSY LITTLE VILLAGE?

Then a friend disappears and Deepbriar must put his own life on the line to prevent another murder.

SET IN SLEEPY MINECLIFF IN THE HEART OF RURAL ENGLAND, THIS VINTAGE MYSTERY IS FULL OF SURPRISES.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF FAITH MARTIN, AGATHA CHRISTIE, STELLA CAMERON AND MARGARET MAYHEW.

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery
