This week we have another fun group of mysteries for your winter reading-Death at High Tide by Hannah Dennison, Death on the Green by Catie Murphy, Murder at Kingscote by Alyssa Maxwell, and Murder in the East End by Jennifer Ashley.
England had their Civil War hundreds of years before America, but the two countries share a delight in celebrating particularly horrific battles. Honeychurch Hall is hosting their annual Skirmish, a re-enactment of 1643s conflict between Royalists and Roundheads (like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter). It’s a money-losing traditional event for the fifteenth Earl of Grenville, so Lord Rupert Honeychurch is less than pleased when a sewer line trench excavation uncovers skeletal remains that spur on his investigators taping off a portion of the land.
Once the host of London’s popular Fakes & Treasured, Katherine Stanford is hoping to make her Collectibles & Valuation Services a success in Little Dipperton, England. Although Kat had originally come to the tiny town to help her recently widowed mother Iris, Kat soon learned that her mom was more than capable of handling anything on her own. Having ended a disastrous relationship and tired of the celebrity life, Kat decided to stay in the village that still lives under the hierarchal rules established more than six hundred years ago. Continued to be revered, at least to her face, is Lady Edith Honeychurch and her son Rupert, the fifteenth Earl of Grenville.
