A manor house cosy crime with all the hallmarks of an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery.

Devon, 1929. Members of the Pedhurst and de Reve families gather to hear unpopular matriarch Julia Pedhurst (nee de Reve) read from her late husband's will.

One of the house guests is fighter pilot Fred Willets, now an inspector in the Kalgoorlie Gold Squad, who has come to the UK as a beneficiary of the will. When Julia dies before the reading, and another death follows soon after, everybody in the manor house is a possible suspect.

It is up to Willets, assisted by the bright young pharmacist Prudence Meadows, to crack this whodunnit.©2026 Dave Warner (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd. Cosy Crime Fiction Historical Mystery Crime Murder

I really struggled to get to the end of this. I’m a big gan of Dave Warners contemporary crime / police procedural novels and have read everything he has written in this genre. I spotted this book and thought I’d give it a go based on how much I enjoy Warner. But a mistake - the narration and English accents was jarring and the plot too convoluted.

Disappointing
