Bookshop owner and amateur detective Flora Steele teams up with handsome crime writer Jack Carrington to unravel a curious murder in the village of Abbeymead! Sussex, 1957: When Flora and her partner-in-crime-solving, Jack , arrive at the charming church of St Saviour's the last thing they're expecting to find is the curate, Lyle Beaumont, lifeless on the flagstone floor beneath the belltower, with a mysterious note in his hand. Flora is dismayed to find the poor curate dead. But she can't help being intrigued by the eclectic mix of bell ringers present at the old church - Mr Preece, the local butcher, Dilys Fuller, the busybody postmistress, and Stephen Henshall, a newcomer to the close-knit community . Any one of them could be the culprit - and Flora needs to act fast before someone gets away with murder... When Flora and Jack begin their sleuthing, they quickly realise all is not what it seems with the victim, and the certainty of the dead man's identity becomes the first twist in the investigation. Just as they're getting closer to the answer, the death of one of the suspects changes everything. As a series of unexplained accidents unfolds across the village, it seems no-one who was present at the church on the night of the curate's demise is safe. Has the bell tolled on Flora and Jack's detective days? And will they work out the truth in time to save themselves? A completely addictive cozy crime novel set in the fictional Sussex village of Abbeymead. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Joy Ellis!
