I am so pleased to be on this book tour for Lisa, having read and reviewed all her books I think I am an expert BUT this is a new series A BELINDA PENSHURST MYSTERY BOOK ONE! It’s very different as this all happens in the village called Challham which should be on the front of a chocolate box it’s all cute and lovely. An armchair crime book that you can just dive back into with sensible old characters that keep you entertained. Murder can happen anywhere though and this really gets the village talking and speculating, who did the crime? I loved this and I can see this being optioned for TV as these series are very popular now. Another best seller for Lisa Cutts.
Belinda Penshurst loves her home village Little Challham, with its shady lanes, two pubs, and weekly market, and she’s determined to keep it peaceful. She may live in Challham Castle but she knows almost everything that goes on under her nose. So when irritable pub landlord Tipper is found dead in his cellar, she’s perfectly placed to investigate.
Retired detective Harry Powell moved to Little Challham for a quiet life. He didn’t expect to be dragged into a murder investigation. But the police don’t seem half as enthusiastic as Belinda about the case, and there are strange things happening in the village. Particularly the number of dogs that have disappeared lately…
Is there a dognapper snaffling schnauzers and luring away Labradors? Is Belinda barking mad to be worried that her brother Marcus was arguing with Tipper on the day he died? Belinda and Harry track down the suspects: the rival landlord, the outraged barmaid, the mysterious man in the black car following dogwalkers around. But are the dogged detectives running out of time to sniff out the killer, before he starts hounding them?
