The Swiss Murder Mystery
(2026)(The eighth book in the Rachel Markham Mystery series)
A novel by PB Kolleri
From the bestselling author of Murder at Rutherford Hall & The Rachel Markham Mystery Series, comes the eighth book in The Rachel Markham Mystery Series.
BOOK 8: THE SWISS MURDER MYSTERY
Set in the Summer of 1950, at a luxurious spa ensconced in the mesmerising meadows of the Swiss alps; when the globetrotting banker Charles Tarrant dies from a fatal gunshot wound, the Swiss authorities quickly rule his death a suicide. But his daughter, Gwendoline, and her guardian, Mr. Rafferty, are far from convinced. Certain that Charles's death was no suicide, they enlist Rachel and Jeremy to uncover the truth. As the investigation unfolds, and MI6 gets involved, the pair must sift through a dangerous spy game, full of double agents, deception, hidden cryptograms and cold war spy secrets to discover who really pulled the trigger—and why.

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly intelligent and fun game of Clue, April 16, 2015 By TFLReader
I just love a good mystery and author PB Kolleri has put together a great mystery series here with her "Rachel Markham Mystery Series". I love British characters and stories, and particularly ones that are fast-paced and keep me guessing until the end. This was one of those for sure. If you are an Agatha Christie fan or just love a good mystery, don't pass up this engaging series.

I love mysteries post world war 2! I enjoyed the character of Rachel Markham very much. A delightful and cozy read.
A great surprise, March 14, 2013 By Bookworm
this book was a wonderful surprise. Lots of charming characters that you will fall in love with--whether they are good guys or bad. The setting is fabulous--you feel right at home in the beautiful homes and their gorgeous surroundings in England. This is a terrific page-turner that you won't be able to put down.

Really enjoyed it! Reminded me of Agatha Christie at her best.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Cozy And Fun Read, February 19, 2013 By L.I. LINDA (LI NY)
This book reads like a P.B.S. television mystery series. I am an Anglophile and enjoyed every page. I highly recommend it to lovers of all things British.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO AMERICAN READERS:Please note that all spellings are in British English.
Words like humour, colour, flavour, among others, are not "misspelled" or mistakes in editing, as a few reviewers have pointed out. That's just how these words are written in British English. Also, British colloquialisms from the 1940-50s have been sprinkled liberally throughout the book, which are not editing errors but deliberately infused through the historical storyline, without which much of its charm would have been lost. We hope you will enjoy this whodunit for its own English flavour and its signature dry British humour.
