Description

THERE'S A PUZZLING MYSTERY WHEN A BELOVED PUB BURNS DOWN...BUT LIBBY SARJEANT IS ON THE CASE.

After learning of a suspicious attempt to burn down a beloved old pub, The Crooked Horse, amateur detective Libby Sarjeant and her friend Fran reluctantly agree to investigate.

But when a local antiques dealer mysteriously disappears after apparently taking out his boat, it appears there are dark and sinister forces at play.

This gripping and twisty crime mystery novel is the perfect read for fans of Richard Osman, the Reverend Richard Coles and LJ Ross. Praise for Lesley Cookman:

About the Author

Like many authors, Lesley started writing stories as a child. After a checquered beginning, including jobs as varied as actor, model, cabin crew and nightclub DJ, she fell into feature writing for publications including Business Matters, Which Computer and Poultry Farmers Weekly.

She progressed to short stories for the vibrant Women's magazine market and, following a Master's Degree where she met her publisher, she turned to her first literary love of Traditional British Mysteries. The Libby Sarjeant series is still going strong, and has been joined by The Alexandrians, an Edwardian mystery series.

Lesley also continues to work with her local theatre, which often finds its way into her books.
