Murder in Steeple Martin
Regular price
€16.99
The first book in Lesley Cookman's bestselling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant.
Artist and ex-actress Libby Sarjeant is busy directing a play for the opening of a new theatre in her village when one of her cast is found brutally murdered.
Written by her friend Peter, the play is based on real events from his family’s history, and it seems that these events still cast a long shadow. One dark enough to inspire murder. As the investigation into the murder begins to uncover a tangled web of relationships in the village, Libby gets herself involved in the investigations, determined to solve the murder and get her show on the road!
But is she too close to Peter’s family to be able to recognise the murderer?
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.
