This is a series of enjoyable murder mysteries set in a quiet Cotswold village with great characters and baffling crimes which will keep you gripped till the final page.
MEET THE AMATEUR SLEUTH
MONICA NOBLE was widowed young, leaving her to raise her feisty daughter on her own. That is, until she met and fell in love with Graham Noble, a country vicar (pastor), who enticed her to leave her high-flying job in advertising in the city and move to the Cotswold countryside. There she found bucolic life very pleasant indeed — until murder started to rear its ugly head. And she discovered, to everyone’s surprise, that she had a flair for solving the most unholy of crimes.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
The Vicarage Murder (#1)
Meet Monica Noble: the vicar’s wife with a taste for solving crimes.
IN A QUIET COTSWOLD VILLAGE ALL HELL IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE.
Monica Noble is throwing a party to welcome the village’s new residents. The guests include celebrity chef Sean and his wife Margaret. Also on the list are an Oxford university professor, a 40-something divorcée, and the owner of a chain of gyms.
Then as the drinks are flowing, a shotgun blast rings out. One of the guests is found dead.
DCI Dury and Sergeant Jim Greer are soon on the scene and discover that the victim had many enemies. Almost all the guests harbour secrets and motives for murder. Even Monica’s daughter comes under suspicion.
When another villager is strangled to death nearly a week later, the stakes are raised.
Can Monica help the local detectives save her daughter and solve the murders before anyone else pays the ultimate price?
The Flower Show Murder (#2)
Meet Monica Noble: the vicar’s wife with a taste for solving crimes.
SMELL THE ROSES AND DIE!
Monica Noble is thrilled to be asked to judge a neighbouring village’s flower show — even if she can’t tell a begonia from an azalea!
Her fellow judge Vicar James Davies inhales deeply from a large bloom and drops dead in the tent. At first everyone thinks he’s had a heart attack, but the doctor on hand is suspicious and calls in the police.
A second murder quickly follows. This time it’s one of the main suspects.
Monica must help Chief Inspector Jason Dury to solve the two murders and find the killer — before anyone else pays the ultimate price.
The Manor House Murder (#3)
THE WEEKEND TURNS MURDEROUS.
Monica Noble and her husband Graham, the local vicar, are invited to take part in a high-flying church conference being held at a swanky manor house hotel in their village.
At the Saturday night dinner, the ambitious female cleric Celia Gordon tragically dies, seemingly of a peanut allergy.
But when Chief Superintendent Jason Dury arrives on the scene he quickly discovers that it’s a case of murder.
And Monica’s husband is the prime suspect.
Other suspects include an eminent bishop, an archdeacon viciously opposed to female clergy, and his wife, the curator of a local museum, who is definitely up to something.
But if Monica is to find out who killed Celia, and free her husband from suspicion, she must grapple with a ruthless — and increasingly desperate — killer, putting herself and those around her in mortal danger.
