Synopsis

Lesley Cookman's bestselling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant is back for its fifth instalment!

Middle-aged artist-come-investigator Libby Sarjeant can't ever seem to have a quiet moment. Her son, Adam, has uncovered a body within Creekmarsh Place, where he is working as a gardener for TV personality Lewis Osbourne-Walker.

The police seem to think there is no connection with the current owner but Libby, naturally, can't just leave it at that. With her psychic friend Fran's mind on other things, Libby has to go it alone.

A murder in London inspires the police to dig deeper and Libby, determined to help her new friend Lewis, stirs up more trouble.

I like this series for a quick, easy read, not-have-to-try-to-hard type of book. I usually guess the culprit- not hard! Sometimes I don't want the heavy to read murder/thriller so this book is great for a bit of light-hearted froth.......more

this whole series is very enjoyable for anyone who enjoys cosy mysteries featuring women of a certain age... Only four stars though as the editing could do with being a little tighter. Still a strong recommend.......more
