The Home Counties Mysteries
(2025)(A book in the DCI Flecker Mysteries series)
An omnibus of novels by Josephine Pullein-Thompson
STEP BACK IN TIME WITH *THREE* CLASSIC VILLAGE WHODUNNITS.
‘A well-plotted, convincing murder mystery.’ Thomas Waugh
Enjoy three brilliantly plotted village mysteries written in the late 1950s, where local equestrian passions like foxhunting, riding and show-jumping mark the passing of each season. Hunt balls, cocktail parties and parish fetes provide the perfect backdrop for envy, betrayal . . . and even murder. Beneath the polished veneer of privilege and tradition, tensions simmer — and the most respectable families harbour deadly secrets.
MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE SCOTLAND YARD DETECTIVE:
Detective Chief Inspector Flecker of Scotland Yard is a quiet outsider — polite, observant and tenacious enough to cut through even the most evasive villagers' lies. Stocky, square-faced and often a little untidy, his mild manner and dry humour disguise sharp blue eyes that miss nothing. He prefers patience to pressure and relies on his ability to listen and watch which always makes his suspects reveal more than they ever intended. With his steady Sergeant Browning at his side, Flecker ventures into the countryside to untangle the darker truths hidden behind foxhunts, stables and manor house walls.
THE THREE MYSTERIES:
GIN AND MURDER A country cocktail party among the hunting set ends with a sudden death . . .
THEY DIED IN SPRING The hunting season casts a long shadow when a domineering colonel is found dead on his land.
MURDER STRIKES PINK At the Upshott horse show, a champion of the show-jumping world collapses after sipping a pink milkshake.
Perfect for fans of traditional British detective fiction writers like Agatha Christie, Georgette Heyer, Ngaio Marsh, M.C. Beaton and Josephine Tey and those who enjoy contemporary cozy mysteries written by Faith Martin, Rebecca Tope and Veronica Heley.
