An intricate plot in the post-WWI English countryside and
Frances Brody's "refreshingly complex heroine" (Kirkus)
combine in Murder in the Afternoon, an absorbing mystery.
Dead one minute…
Young Harriet and her brother Austin have always been scared
of the quarry where their stone mason father works. So when
they find him dead on the cold ground, they rush off quickly
to look for some help.
Alive the next?
When help arrives, however, the quarry is deserted and there
is no sign of the body. Were the children mistaken? Is their
father not dead? Did he simply get up and run away?
A sinister disappearing act
It seems like another unusual case requiring the expertise
of Kate Shackleton--and Mary Jane, the children's mother, is
adamant that only she can help. But Mary Jane is hiding
something--a secret from Kate's past that raises the stakes
and puts both Kate and her family at risk.
