Genre: Fiction > Mystery
4-A Short Time to Live: Gwen Moffat gives her latest thriller a Lake District setting: the remote village of Sandale which, when torrential rain causes a landslide, is temporarily cut off from the rest of the world. This is the splendid background to a tale of blackmail, anonymous letters, conspiracy, a large-scale robbery, kidnapping and murder.
Of course, not all these crimes are the work of the same person, and it’s Miss Moffat’s now well-known amateur detective, Miss Pink, who sorts out the puzzle—but aided this time by the enigmatic Daniel Cole, who claims to be Press but whose interest in Sandale may be more sinister.
Lucy Fell’s liaison is notorious. So is Peta Mossop’s. Peta’s husband, the local inn-keeper, deals in stolen property—anything from sheep to loads of whisky. George Harper, a newcomer, is rather a mystery man, with a very beautiful daughter, Caroline. And when Peta is murdered and Caroline disappears, Miss Pink faces a problem which, even by her standards, is extremely complex.
14-The Lost Girls:
When a Lakeland dale is flooded to form a reservoir there are no protests. The rising water should cover the remains of Joanie Gardner. Forty-five years on, as the water recedes in a drought, a dog’s find revives the rumours. Then another violent death occurs and Melinda Pink makes the connections to reveal more horrors.
15-Private Sins: In the foothills of the Rockies, Miss Pink is visiting her friend Sophie Hamilton.
But despite the summer sunshine, there is a shadow over the gathering.
Rich, autocratic, Charlie Gunn delights in playing cruel jokes on his guests – and watching the victims, which include his sister-in-law Sophie, squirm.
When Charlie Gunn disappears from his remote hunting cabin, Miss Pink is drawn into a volatile situation.
Charlie’s end was a violent one.
And the police, their suspicions aroused by by his multi-million dollar will, are not satisfied that his death was the result of a fall from a horse.
The family is tight-lipped, guarding its scandals. Until a blackmailer starts to make demands and suspicions grow that Charlie’s death could have been murder.
