Murder At The Fingerpost
(2026)(The second book in the Hilary Stamp series)
A novel by Douglas Lindsay
Stabbed multiple times, Rev. Justin Hill is left to die by the fingerpost on the edge of a small coastal village in Norfolk. With his last breath, Hill reaches out and points in the direction of the old manor house, where the widow Hildebrand lives alone, largely cut off from society, tending to her garden of exotic plants.
The investigation into Hill’s murder does not last long. Lacking suspects, motive, or any clues to the killer’s identity, the police are baffled, and soon the detectives are withdrawn.
Into this village of suspicion and intrigue, the ground parched dry by the warm summer sun, a flat blue sea stretching to a distant horizon, come private investigator Hilary Stamp and her assistant, Elizabeth Seymour. The villagers are happy to talk, yet no one has anything to say about the vicar, his murder, the widow, or her mysterious poison garden.
Clearly, however, something sinister lurks beneath the calm surface of a warm English summer. Tension lies in the shadows, mystery is layered upon mystery, and inevitably, before long, the killer strikes again…
