Three Murders - One Body

The sleepy, gated village of Baniston, 12 miles north of Stevenage, comes to life when two people are found dead within days of each other.

Peter Thompson, the owner of the estate, is concerned more about the effect the incidents will have on the village and his vast income than on the unfortunate deaths.

Audrey Mosley, the village vamp, whose tennis coach gave her after match "lessons" worries about what might come out of the woodwork. While husband, Richard, seems unable to come to terms with his wife's infidelity. To add to his woes, he also suffered the loss of his beloved show tomato plants which were destroyed before the village fete.

Clive Johnson, deep into plumbing, and his wife, Janice, along with Tina, the hairdresser, disgruntled Tom Grangemore who used to work for Richard Mosley, Ben Griffin retired farmer and ex lightweight boxer together with Inspector Peter Prendergast and his team of detectives bring colour and amusement to this fast-moving and thoroughly enjoyable read.
