Description
The Cotswold Manor Hotel welcomes an eclectic mix of guests, and on one fateful Friday evening, two witnesses overhear an argument in a neighbouring room, followed by a loud thud. The next morning, the maid discovers the room has been vacated; all that remains is a dried bloodstain on the carpet.
Detective Chief Inspector Chloe Taylor attends the scene, and soon after, a body is discovered in the lake on the hotel grounds, launching a murder inquiry. It soon becomes clear that the case is much bigger than she initially thought when one of her key suspects is linked to a terrorism investigation. A DCI from the Counter Terrorism Unit is quickly assigned to work alongside her.
As the investigation progresses, they are confronted by lies and deceit, suspicious characters, fake identities, and a case that threatens to spiral out of control. As DCI Taylor wrestles with the murder case and the politics of working with CTU, the mounting pressure leads her to make impulsive choices, putting her own life at risk.
Will she survive and solve the Murder at the Manor?
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
Praise for Deadly Connections (2021):
"This police procedural still sparkles with originality. Jersey, still relatively unused by crime novelists, provides a beautiful backdrop for an intensely dark and complex plot. The author pays homage to the genius of Agatha Christie in a story full of unexpected twists and turns, and a razor-sharp denouement." - Amazon reviewer
"A fast paced, enthralling, engaging read that hooked me straight away and had me racing through the pages." - Amazon reviewer
Praise for The Sins of the Father (2022):
"The story is complex and clever, twisting and turning through four decades, until three women decide to fight back against the Allcock brothers. It would be a lie to say there is a killer twist at the end, because there are two!" - Amazon reviewer
"Excellent, fast paced thriller, with great characters. Addictive read which I loved!" - NetGalley reviewer
Praise for The Devil's Code (2023):
"Fantastic book. I have heard people before say that "they could not put it down" and now I have found out what they mean - I finally went to bed at 5.45 am trying to finish." - Amazon reviewer
"Taut writing but fast paced, my detecting brain was working overtime. Thank goodness it was a relatively short read as I’m not sure my heart could’ve taken much more. Recommended." - Amazon reviewer
