About this audiobook
A classic cosy mystery from a master of the genre! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M C Beaton, Sophie Hannah and Faith Martin.
Shockwaves are sent through the sleepy village of Trill when a woman's body is discovered in a local school. Beatrice Baynes – interfering, overbearing and spiteful – was not well liked. But no one expects a body to be found on their doorstep… And how did the annual festival at Meldon School turn from a light-hearted celebration to a gruesome crime scene? With the local constabulary completely stumped, Scotland Yard's Chief Detective Inspector Pollard and Detective Sergeant Toye are called in to investigate. But the further Pollard & Toye delve into their inquiries, the more complicated the case becomes…Death of an Old Girl is the first cosy village mystery in the Pollard & Toye crime series: an intriguing police procedural set in rural England.
“This is a real genuine police-detective story, and a first-class one at that … altogether I would call this a hundred-per-cent winner” – THE GUARDIAN
