Description

When two bodies are discovered within six weeks of one another, it would appear that a serial killer is at large in the sleepy Cotswold village of Folly.

Six weeks after a battered body is found in the grounds of the village cricket club, DCI Dan O’Reilly and his team are no further forward in the investigation. No witnesses, no leads, no clues whatsoever. Then a second body is discovered in the nearby tithe barn used by the local amateur dramatics society, artfully posed just like the first. Could there be a serial killer on the loose?

When evidence leads O’Reilly to visit the Black Dog pub, owner Alex Duggins and her partner Tony are once again drawn into a police investigation.

But Tony is dealing with some disturbing news of his own. Someone from his past has reached out and threatens all he holds dear. Are they who they claim to be, and what do they really want . . .?

When a body is found in a small village DCI Dan O'Reilly is given the case but he has an strange feeling this murder isn't going to be the last. Six weeks later another body is found and the chase really begins because of his fear of more bodies turning up. When the clues lead him to the Black Dog Pub where his friends Alex Duggins owner and her partner Tony are, Dan wishes it was somewhere else since Alex and Tony are amateur sleuths.
This is a new author to me and will definitely be a go to from now on. I loved the characters in this story and can't wait to read more of their adventures. It's all here for the reader, murder, mystery and engaging characters. You can't go wrong with this cozy mystery.
