Two Birds with One Stone

Marsden-Lacey Mystery seriesbook 1 of 3Next:A Debt is Finally Paid(2015) →

Summer has settled over the English village of Marsden-Lacey, and a local figure has been found dead with a blow to the head. Two American expatriates, Martha Littleword and Helen Ryes, have settled in Yorkshire as empty-nesters looking for something new. What begins as an amateur investigation soon turns dangerous. Their search takes them through a village full of eccentric residents, an irritable police chief, and a tangle of romantic interest. As the friends pursue the truth, they also uncover an old puzzle linked to a Brontë sister and a century-old mystery. The tone is light and witty, with plenty of small-town charm.
