Description
PRE-ORDER NOW! The new book in the Val and Arbie mysteries from the multimillion bestselling author Faith Martin.
'Brilliant characters that leap off the page' THE SUN on Murder by CandlelightOne of these guests has a date with death…
Arbuthnot ‘Arbie’ Swift arrives at Dashwood House, a glamorously modern hotel in the up-and-coming resort of Galton-next-the-Sea, but all plans for a relaxing stay are scuppered when one of the guests is found dead.
The body is found in the writing room, the victim part of a set visiting the seaside town for an engagement party, which happens to include Arbie’s old friend, Val.
Familiar with Val and Arbie’s previous experience in solving puzzling crimes, the bride asks the pair to investigate. They quickly discover that the victim had no shortage of enemies, and many of the guests are up to no good. But who is simply hiding a secret, and who is hiding murder?

So much for Arbie's relaxing break at the seaside. One of the guests in the swish hotel is found dead. And who should be a member of the group which the victim was part of? Arbie's old pal Val.
Inevitably, the pair find themselves embroiled in another investigation.
Another great adventure- hope there's more to follow
Stephanie M, Reviewer
I consider this to be a classic murder mystery somewhat in the genre of Agatha Christie. The book takes a very long time setting up the scene and the characters before anything happens. The old hotel is full of wedding guests, friends family and random strangers staying over for a break. All of these people are meticulously detailed so that you get a proper understanding of who they are, their foibles and what drives them.. The murder is almost an afterthought as the life and characters are so well drawn that seeing how they all come together is almost more important then catching the killer. There is the reveal in the drawing room which ends the book and ties up the loose ends, a great read..
