An enjoyable cosy crime novel. This is the first book in The Dead Series. Pippsy and Jack Standage are private investigators who visit a luxurious Cotswold hotel for a restful break. Alas it proves to be anything but restful. Within a couple of days a car with a dead man in the driving seat arrives at the hotel's front door. Despite some initial reluctance on Jack's part, the pair become embroiled in a series of occurrences, which include finding a suitcase full of money in the boot of the dead man's car and a bag of diamonds lying in the bushes. The investigating police inspector is perhaps not all he seems, and a number of the other guests look suspicious. There is an attempt on their lives, and some very nasty people kidnap them more than once! Somehow or other they always manage to extricate themselves, but can they find the criminal brain behind it all?

Biographical note

"I have always enjoyed writing, although mostly just for pleasure. A few years ago I joined a writing group, and shortly after wrote a memoir - intended mainly for the grandchildren (when they're a little older). I entered a number of writing competitions and was short listed a few times, and wrote some children's stories, once again for the grandchildren. This cosy crime novel resulted from an idea of my husband's (although the body count was not high enough he said!). I went on to complete a second novel featuring the same leading characters, and at present am working on a third. My books are not meant to be other than, I hope, entertaining - the events are mostly improbable, highly unlikely and thoroughly implausible. But who cares? Enjoy!" Katie Gray
