Synopsis

An addictive and unputdownable crime mystery novel perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Faith Martin, J.R. Ellis, LJ Ross, Miss Marple and Midsummer Murders!

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

Can they uncover how the corpses connect?
Bella Morleigh was pleased to inherit a derelict theatre, that is until an unknown body is discovered within it...
Luckily for her, her two friends Libby Sarjeant and Psychic Investigator Fran Castle are on the case.

Although Libby is rather distracted by the preparations for her friends' Civil Partnership ceremony, she's at least getting the hang of using a computer to dig for information, something she's certain will be terribly useful in her detecting career.

When a second body is discovered however, it is one of Fran's psychic moments (and none of Libby's computer know-how) that help them discover the surprising link between the two corpses...

The Libby Sarjeant mysteries are cozy, delightful and entertaining. This third book was no exception.

Psychic investigator Libby Sarjeant, with the help of friend Fran Castle, sorts out a somewhat complicated double murder after Bella Morleigh is left a derelict theatre by an aunt she did not know she had. Plenty of twists and turns but also plenty of seemingly irrelevant prattle.......more
