When the landlord of a Yorkshire tavern is killed in plain
sight, Freda Simonson, the only witness to the crime,
becomes plagued with guilt, believing the wrong man has been
convicted. Following her death, it seems that the truth will
never be uncovered in the peaceful village of Langcliffe...
A village of secrets
But it just so happens that Freda’s nephew is courting the
renowned amateur sleuth Kate Shackleton, who decides to
holiday in Langcliffe with her indomitable teenage niece,
Harriet. When Harriet strikes up a friendship with a local
girl whose young brother is missing, the search leads Kate
to uncover another suspicious death, not to mention an
illicit affair.
The case of a lifetime
As the present mysteries merge with the past’s mistakes,
Kate is thrust into the secrets that Freda left behind and
realizes that this courageous woman has entrusted her with
solving a murder from beyond the grave. It soon becomes
clear to her that nothing in Langcliffe is quite as it
appears, and with a murderer on the loose and an
ever-growing roster of suspects, this isn’t the holiday Kate
was expecting...
Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton returns in A Death in the
Dales with another mystery that's sure to "hold the
reader attention and make them continue reading into the
small hours of the night" (York Press, UK).
