From the author of Warning at One--another Lois
Meade mystery that proves there's no good time for
murder.
Lois Meade's daughter was admittedly
considering leaving her partner, Rob-but she never expected
him to be found badly beaten and left for dead in a ditch by
the side of the road. When Rob tragically dies from his
injuries without regaining consciousness, Inspector Cowgill
has a murder investigation on his hands, and once again he
engages the assistance of the woman he respects above all
others-Lois.
Suspicion quickly falls on the
traveling gypsies who are camped out on Alf Smith's
property. There is strong prejudice among many in the
village who consider the gypsies no better than tramps and
thieves. Lois must follow a twisted path that leads to
arson, local delinquents, secret assignations, and
blackmail-before she can discover who's been tinkering with
the truth...
I enjoy reading detective stories and helping to solve problems. I like guessing and piling up the clues. (Alyson Widen 2:01pm February 9, 2010)
My daughter is the one who is truly into mystery stories. She reads them constantly and her favorite book store handles mystery stories only. I read mysteries, but lean toward romances. However, small village settings especially interest me. I get tired of castles, princes and wealthy Italians. (Gladys Paradowski 4:58pm February 9, 2010)
I look forward to reading the new series. (Mary Preston 6:35pm February 9, 2010)
Hmmm. I hadn't known of your Round Ringford series, so it looks like I have to make even more trips to the bookstore! It, and your new detective series, are both types of books I like.
Thanks!

I love a good mystery that I can help solve along with the main character. Good luck on your new series. (Lisa Richards 7:35pm February 9, 2010)
I enjoy mysteries but I'm usually lousy at figuring out who done it, so I prefer light and funny mysteries. (Diane Sadler 9:20pm February 10, 2010)
