One For The Rook (Blake Hetherington Mysteries Book 2) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The second novella in the Blake Hetherington mysteries series and twice as long as the first, Blake is once more embroiled in a tale of deception, when a murder takes place on his beloved allotment. It is said that an Englishman's home is his castle. For Blake it is his beloved allotment. That is until he discovers a body in amongst the vegetables. With the Rambleteers threatening the future of the allotments and an escaped prisoner on the loose, are any of the plots safe? With the help of Delilah Delibes will Blake unravel the mystery before another death occurs? More importantly, who will win first prize at the Tuesbury Autumn Show? One For The Rook is the second novelette in the Blake Hetherington series and features murder, mystery and intrigue in the style of true British cosy crime. Who is Blake Hetherington? A shrewd and sometimes intolerant widower; Blake has a big heart, a true sense of justice and weakness for the damsel in distress. Often finding himself on a 'sea of assumptions without a paddle of truth', he carefully and methodically gathers the evidence to solve the mystery. The odd glance, the chance meeting or a peculiar habit all lead him to the answer. 'D.S. Nelson does everything a mystery writer should do: she entertains and informs. ' - J C Bernthal, - Amazon reviewer. 'If you are a fan of the English mystery, add this to your want list.' - Judith Catanzaro - Amazon reviewer. 'A great little bundle of a read, loved D S Nelson's turn of phrase...' - D Lewry, Amazon reviewer About The Author: D S Nelson's introduction to murder came from Agatha Christie. Her inquisitive Miss Marple, of St Mary Mead, and very Belgian Poirot, with his 'little grey cells', captured her imagination from a young age. The intellectual and astute Sherlock Holmes, of Arthur Conan Doyle's detective fiction, is also a clear influence in her writing.
