Genre: Mystery
Dark Undertakings #1
Fifty-five-year-old Jim Lapsford makes an unusually healthy-looking corpse. A life-long devotee of vitamin pills and herbal remedies, it seems almost ironic that he has succumbed to a heart attack, but his doctor is convinced that this is the case.
Trainee undertaker Drew Slocombe isn’t so sure. As an ex-nurse, Drew is convinced that there is enough conflicting medical evidence to merit a coroner’s inquest at least. And then there’s Jim’s personal life: in addition to a long-suffering wife, two sons, and a grieving terrier, Jim appears to have left behind a series of scorned mistresses.
Everyone else seems happy to accept the doctor’s verdict, and Drew knows he shouldn’t rock the boat. But can he really turn his back on murder? With plenty of suspects, zero proof, and Jim’s cremation just days away, Drew sure has his work cut out for him…
Smart, engrossing, and delightfully refreshing, Dark Undertakings is another great mystery from rising star Rebecca Tope.
Grave Concerns #2
With Peaceful Repose Cemetery, Drew Slocombe is determined to revolutionize the entire death industry and make cheap, ecologically sound burials a popular choice. Unfortunately, Drew’s gravedigger has just discovered that their cemetery has one too many corpses. The body of an elderly woman has been occupying the field for months before Drew opened for business. The police don’t appear to be particularly concerned by the death, and seem to think that the body is that of a vagrant. But for Drew, things don’t add up: even if the woman died a natural death, someone was obviously responsible for burying her.
The mystery deepens when Genevieve Slater turns up at Drew’s door. Drew has always fought an illicit attraction to Genevieve-an attraction that hasn’t faded with time. But it’s Drew’s reputation for amateur detective work that Genevieve is now interested in. With reasons of her own for not wanting to contact the police, she wants to hire Drew to prove that the body is that of her missing mother. Drew realizes helping her might get him in trouble with the law, but, for a man looking to escape both money worries and marriage problems. Genevieve proves impossible to resist.
The Sting of Death #3
The sleuths from Rebecca Tope’s two mystery series-Detective Sergeant Den Cooper and undertaker/amateur Detective Drew Slocombe-team up to solve a series of mysterious killings in the quiet rural area of East Devon where they both now live. It’s a clever mystery set in a pictures-que English farm that is only pretty on the surface.
