The Violin Murder
(2018)(The tenth book in the Diane Dimbleby Cozy Mystery series)
A Novella by Penelope Sotheby
A Colonel is found murdered in his own home. The police suspect a burglary gone wrong. Diane Dimbleby thinks the truth might be much more disturbing...
When a friend of both Diane and her new husband is found brutally murdered, ripples of shock are sent round the small village of Apple Mews.
The police think it is a burglary gone wrong. But if that is the case why was nothing taken except an old violin? Diane had better solve this one quickly, because if a retired army man can get murdered in his own home in a quiet place like Apple Mews, then no-one is safe, not least Diane.
A curious writer, determined detectives, and a village harboring sheer evil. The Violin Murder: A Diane Dimbleby Cozy Mystery is part of a series of books by author Penelope Sotheby.
If you are a fan of cozy mysteries that contain an ingenious but modest woman sleuth then you will love this Diane Dimbleby adventure.
Interview with the Author
Q - Can you tell us more about your Diane Dimbleby series of books? What are they about?
A - The books concern the adventures of Diane Dimbleby, a retired school teacher who is now a writer of mystery novels. She lives in the quiet English village of Apple Mews - a place where nothing should ever really happen, but of course murder is never very far away and Diane is always compelled to investigate.
Q - Who would this book appeal to, who is your target market?
A - Women between 35 - 65 but anyone really who loves whodunit books.
Q - For those of us who are unfamiliar with the term "Cozy Mystery" what does it mean?
A - A cozy mystery is a mystery novel without the graphic sex or violence that one might expect from some whodunit mysteries. It is a very popular genre at the moment with many cozy mystery free kindle books currently on Amazon.
Q - Can you tell us more about yourself, what do you do other than write Murder Mysteries?
A - I am a mother and a grandmother. I am an avid gardener and host Murder Mystery weekends. I currently live in England most of the time. Other than writing, I do of course spend lots of time reading whodunit mysteries.
Q - What other stories have you written? Can you give us a brief overview of some of your stories?
A - I have written a novella called "Murder in the Inn" which has a cozy mystery small town setting but set on a small Canadian Island. What they have in common with the Diane Dimbleby books though is that they are all whodunit books.
Q - Where do you get your inspiration for these stories?
A - A lot of the inspiration comes from real life experiences, especially with regards to the setting of my stories. The murder details are inspired by decades of reading murder mysteries such as those from the womens murder club and from real life news stories. I have read a lot of the books from the mystery novels best sellers 2018 list which gave me some good ideas.
