Author Introduction
The daughter of a military father, Catherine was born in Germany and lived most of the first 14 years of her life abroad. She spent her school years devouring everything her school library had to offer! Catherine writes cozy mysteries that take place in the English countryside. Her extremely popular Tommy & Evelyn Christie mysteries are set in 1920s North Yorkshire. Her new series, the Martha Miller cozy mysteries, are set in the years following the Second World War in Berkshire.
Catherine lives in northeast England with her two spoiled dogs who have no idea they are not human!
Blurb
As a thank you for her previous brilliant crime solving, amateur sleuth, Martha Miller is guest of honour at the Winteringham Country Fair. However, this time she is looking forward to simply judging dog shows and eating cream teas rather than apprehending a killer!
And Martha is just beginning to enjoy spending quality time with Vicar Luke Walker away from the prying eyes and gossips of her own village, when disaster strikes, and the local teenage femme fatale is found stabbed to death behind the tea tent by Martha’s trusted red setter Lizzie!
But who would want to kill such a young girl and why? Someone in the village has secrets to hide and it seems Martha and Luke have another case to solve!
Let the investigation commence!
Find out if Martha and Luke can catch the killer in a brand new Martha Miller mystery from bestselling author Catherine Coles.
My Opinion
Martha Miller is back
A beautiful cozy mystery thriller surrounding a small village. A perfect book for beginners as the story cuts the unnecessary drama and comes to the point straight away. The plot is developed around some curious characters. All the characters have their own footing and story. Tertiary characters acted as the iron pillars of the plot. In short, the plot focusses on how people can change with time and can be so mean and jealous that they would not even think twice before ruining someone's life. But do not expect any kind of action in the plot.
I would definitely give the book 5 stars. Thanks to Boldwood Books, Rachel's Random Resources and Netgalley for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
