Silenced at the Summer Social

Retired school teacher, clerk to the Parish Council, devoted churchgoer.

Josephine Hillson is the proverbial pillar of the community. But apparently not everyone in the community sees her that way. And at the end of a warm September’s day, with the Summer Social winding down, Josephine goes to meet her maker in the swimming pool of Mountjoy Manor. Suspicion falls on the Worcester twins, Peter and Paul, who argued with her just before her death, but they swear their innocence. Can the amateur sleuths of Coombesford find out who killed Josephine, and why, before the police decide the teenagers are guilty.

The fourth in the series of Coombesford Chronicles, this time featuring PI Rohan Banerjee and amateur sleuth Esther Steele.
