Description

A cold-blooded killer stalks a sleepy Suffolk town in this pitch-perfect WWII crime mystery. December 1939. Sackwater Police Station feels a million miles from the war effort. Elderly Mr Orchard keeps wandering off in his pyjamas, little Sylvia Satin is having a birthday party, and a bookmark has been reported stolen. Inspector Betty Church - one of the few female officers on the force - is longing for something to get her teeth into... When a bomb is dropped on Sackwater, it seems the war has finally reached them. But Betty can't stop Adolf, however hard she tries. So when a dead man is found on the beach, she concentrates on hunting an enemy much closer to home. 'Eccentric and entertaining with a nicely complex plot'Crime Review. 'A wonderfully gripping old-fashioned murder mystery' The Lady.

Media Reviews

I love this sort of book... A rival for M.C. Beaton, my favourite of all time' * Frost Magazine *
A clever and beautifully written tale of small-town wartime life with a good mystery - and a most unusual solution... The Room of the Dead is funny, amusing and surprising, and it will keep you guessing at a darker and more unnerving story' * Crime Review *
