Overview

An old-fashioned festival where someone's idea of fun proves nothing short of deadly. As their cosy little weekend of fun and frivolity is blown out of the water by a violent murder, Inspector Leslie Dykeman and Sergeant Stanley Shapes find themselves faced with a plethora of possibilities and few obvious suspects amongst a group of friends staying at the upmarket Marlborough Hotel. Except, that is, they're about to discover that even the best of friends have secrets they prefer to keep hidden and with good reason. Unhappily for Dykeman, he is also about to find himself facing competition for the attentions of the woman he has belatedly come to realise means more to him than just mere friendship. But how is he to fight his corner when there's a murder to be solved?

If you like classic murder mysteries with a touch of romance and a streak of humour, then you'll love these.

Author Information

Ben is the author of two crime and mystery series. The David Good private investigator stories are set in 1980s London, featuring a PI in tune with his neck of the woods and in possession of some distinctly pliable morals. The Banbury Cross Murder Mystery stories are classic murder mysteries set in the rural market town of Banbury during the early 1960s, featuring the curmudgeonly Inspector Leslie Dykeman and the irascible Sergeant Stanley Shapes. Ben's writing places an emphasis on strongly developed characters and invariably comes served with a side-order of humour. Born in London, Ben now lives in rural Northamptonshire in the English Midlands, with his family and a heavily over-worked computer. He writes just about every day and some of the resulting stories and other material is made available for free exclusively to readers who register here http: //www.benwesterham.com/subscribe/.
