Lesley Cookman's bestselling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant is back for its ninth instalment.
Steeple Martin sleuth Libby Sarjeant and her partner Ben are hosting a writers’ weekend reunion at Ben’s family home, The Manor, when a body is discovered in the grounds.
Even though Scotland Yard are on the case, Libby feels compelled to investigate the murder. It is on her home patch, after all! The enquiries take Libby and psychic investigator Fran Castle to historic Dorset, where they uncover a complex web of writers’ jealousies. Libby uses all her wiles to get at the truth, but doesn’t manage to reach it before further tragic consequences occur…
Like many authors, Lesley started writing stories as a child. After a checquered beginning, including jobs as varied as actor, model, cabin crew and nightclub DJ, she fell into feature writing for publications including Business Matters, Which Computer and Poultry Farmers Weekly.
She progressed to short stories for the vibrant Women's magazine market and, following a Master's Degree where she met her publisher, she turned to her first literary love of Traditional British Mysteries. The Libby Sarjeant series is still going strong, and has been joined by The Alexandrians, an Edwardian mystery series.
Lesley also continues to work with her local theatre, which often finds its way into her books.
