博客來Menacing texts lead to murder in an English village, in this unmissable, witty mystery by the Dagger Award-nominated author of A Most Unusual Demise.
May Morrigan is in her bookshop one morning when she-and everyone else in the shop-receives an anonymous text. It contains a reference to a Shakespeare quotation-and seems to be aimed at the vicar and his partner, Juan. The next morning, one of them is dead.
Meanwhile, May’s elderly mother, Minty, is staying with her, her old friend Fletcher, and her two dogs. To her dismay, Minty is quite preoccupied with death herself lately. She also keeps reminiscing about her past in ways that make May wonder what secrets she’s hiding.
As disturbing texts continue to arrive, the Blackheath residents are threatened with further revelations and titillations. Then Fletcher becomes the focus of the tormenting texter . . . and barely escapes an attempt on his life. It’s time for May to send a strong message-and block this killer permanently . .
