Murder in the Fens
Author: Clare Chase
Publisher: Bookouture
ISBN: 9781838880446
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
When the body of twenty-year-old Julie Cooper is found - her pockets stuffed full of wilting flowers - in an iron-age hill fort on the edge of the fens, Detective Tara Thorpe and her team are called in to investigate. The evidence points to an illicit affair gone wrong... but is there more to the story? As always at the Cambridge Constabulary, the case turns personal. Detective Blake is exhausted after the arrival of a new baby with wayward wife Babette, and Tara is keen to put as much distance between herself and Blake as she can - both at the station and on the hunt for the killer. Charming rookie officer Jez is the perfect distraction... but is he a little too good to be true? Then Tara makes a startling breakthrough when she finds an unsettling family heirloom hidden in the late victim's bedroom - a golden statue of a sinister-looking cat with emerald eyes. As she traces its origins, Tara begins to realise that Julie's murder is no one-off crime, but a sinister plot with its roots in a terrible secret that was covered up decades earlier. An unputdownable page-turner, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie and Joy Ellis. Can be read as a standalone. The Tara Thorpe Mystery Series: Book 1 - Murder on the Marshes Book 2 - Death on the River Book 3 - Death Comes to Call Book 4 - Murder in the Fens Readers absolutely love Clare Chase: 'Literally couldn't put it down!!

Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'I have to say that I loved this book.'Jen Med's Book Reviews, 5 stars 'I absolutely loved this book... grabbed me by the throat from the opening chapter and refused to let go until the very end... The story was a fantastic puzzle... all set against the beautiful backdrop of Cambridge and the menacing emptiness of the surrounding Cambridgeshire fens.' A Little Book Problem, 5 stars 'Clever, twisty stories, with great characters.' Kate Rhodes, author of Hell Bay 'You'll enjoy her books including this one if you like Joy Ellis, L. J. Ross, and Faith Martin... I absolutely adored the setting here. It reminds a little of the sort of setting in Midsomer Murders - quaint and idyllic with some very shady characters. The twists in the plot were plentiful and I liked the relationship and dynamic between Thorpe and Blake.' Goodreads reviewer 'A tense, exciting read with plenty of twists... an addictive read.'

Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths In & Around The Fens
Author: Glenda Goulden
Publisher: Wharncliffe
ISBN: 1783408677
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Discover this coastal plain in England—and the crimes that have taken place there over the centuries. The Fens of England, thinly populated with isolated farmsteads, has been the setting for a number of popular crime novels—but it has also been the actual site of many horrific, bloody, and bizarre incidents. This book takes a gripping look at the darker side of the area’s history—from crimes of callous premeditation to those born of passion or despair. Included are tales of conspiracy, robbery, violence, cruelty, and murder that reveal a previously neglected side of Fenland society. Unforgettable cases are featured—a mother who murdered her son, a police officer who hid the body of his mother, a farmer brutally slain for his money, a dustman who killed a local girl, and the headless body of a woman who has never been identified. Covering a wide range of human weakness and wickedness, this chronicle of the hidden side of the Fens will be compelling reading for anyone who is interested in the sinister side of human nature and the social conditions that nurture it.
