The Norfolk Mystery
English
By (author): Ian Sansom
Love Miss Marple? Adore Holmes and Watson? Professor Morleys guide to Norfolk is a story of bygone England; quaint villages, eccentric locals and murder!
It is 1937 and disillusioned Spanish Civil War veteran Stephen Sefton is stony broke. So when he sees a mysterious advertisement for a job where intelligence is essential, he applies.
Thus begins Seftons association with Professor Swanton Morley, an omnivorous intellect. Morleys latest project is a history of traditional England, with a guide to every county.
They start in Norfolk, but when the vicar of Blakeney is found hanging from his churchs bellrope, Morley and Sefton find themselves drawn into a rather more fiendish plot. Did the Reverend really take his own life, or was it murder?
Beginning a thrilling new detective series, The Norfolk Mystery is the first of The County Guides. A must-read for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, every county is a crime scene and no-one is above suspicion!
