DEATH AT LARCH BRIDGE

Do you love Agatha Christie and the classic whodunnits of the Golden Age? Then you’ll adore this captivating new historical mystery from bestselling author Gretta Mulrooney. 

A mysterious letter. 

A brutal murder on a lonely country lane. 

A town full of suspects. 

Fernfield, Oxfordshire, 1946. 

Last year, the Dolphin Hotel was the scene of the most scandalous crime. Now, Daisy Moore — hotel manager and resourceful solver of the crime — is working hard to get things back on track. 

But she never reckoned on the arrival of boorish Ronnie Carpenter . . . 

He comes blustering into reception, his long-suffering wife trailing behind. Tonight is his friend’s engagement party and he wouldn’t miss it for the world. 

Leaving his wife to dress for the ritzy event, Ronnie steps out for some air. Never to return. 

He’s only just checked in. Now he’s vanished without a trace. 

The next morning, his body is found — slumped in the passenger seat of a motorcar that’s been driven off the road — and Daisy can’t help but be drawn into the case. 

Especially when an anonymous letter arrives in the post, telling Daisy exactly where to find the answers she is seeking. 

Daisy knows the true key to the mystery lies written between the lines. 

Can she uncover the identity of the letter writer before anyone else dies? 

AN UTTERLY CHARMING WHODUNNIT FULL OF RED HERRINGS SET IN FASCINATING POST-WAR ENGLAND. 

Discover a brilliant murder mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, Anthony Horowitz, Jacqueline Winspear and Elly Griffiths.
