Murder in My Backyard
by Cleeves, Ann
No one in Heppleburn has a bad word to say about Alice Parry . . . but here she is, murdered in her own backyard on a bitter St.
David’s Eve. And when detective Stephen Ramsay starts asking questions
in the village, a more ambiguous picture begins to emerge. Yes, old Mrs.
Parry was loved by everyone, but sometimes her kindness had caused
trouble. Yes, her two nephews were devoted to her, but they didn’t
really want her interfering in their rather complicated personal lives.
Even among her neighbours, Alice Parry’s helpfulness had sometimes
misfired; and after her death, tension tight as a clenched fist grips
the uneasy village. Meanwhile, the suspects keep rolling in, and Heppleburn’s friendly neighbourhood killer continues his nasty piece of work . . .
