A Fine Place for Death (Mitchell and Markby 6)
What you need to know before your trail
One evening in a nice leafy village of Bamford in the Cotswolds, a teenage girls goes out and doesn’t come back. It turns out to be fifteen-year-old Lynne Wills who habitually drank underage in ‘The Silver Bells’ pub. Investigations show that on the night of her death, she was seen leaving with an unknown man.
There is also news of another troubled young local girl calle Katie Conway. Lynne and Katie don’t seen to have anything in common however except for their age and home town.
Chief Inspector Markby’s friend Meredith Mitchell has been befriended by Katie and as Katie talks, she reveals insights into her difficult family background – an unstable, aristocratic mother, a doting father at the end of his tether, and a scheming resident secretary. Could this and the fact that some interesting forensics have come to light help Markby and Mitchell solve the case?
Travel Guide
Bamford
“Let’s hope it’s nothing serious. We don’t want any nasty murders and such in Bamford!
Welcome to Bamford – a village in the Cotswolds but in reality a village in the Derbyshire Peak District. So a bonus really as you can explore both locations for the price of one. Both rural and remote locations amongst the most stunningly beautiful areas in the UK
Bamford is described as a market town, a small, quiet place with ramshackle friendly streets.It’s finally got its fifteen minutes on the television as someone says but not for a good reason!
This is a village populated by the varied and quirky – The rich yet frail Adeline Conway and the elderly and odd Barney Crouch. Fun names for colourful characters.
The Devaux family mausoleum standing on the grounds of the gothic stately home stands still in the darkness…but wait..why would there be lights on at night? And what’s that noise?
