A
Body Under the Bridge is the sixth of the West Wales Murder
Mysteries by P.F. Ford. Alan Edwards is worried about his friend,
or rather, chess buddy. They play a game every Monday morning, have
for some time, and this Monday, he's no where to be found. Because
of his age Detective Norman does go to check it out and finds the
house empty, except for a dog desperate to go out, and an living
space almost entirely devoid of any furniture. Neighbors report
seeing lights, and the dog being walked, but not for a few days. Then
a body is found, some distance away, under a bridge. Gareth does not
drive, does not own a bike, if it's even him, how did he get so far
away? Lots of good plot twists here. Stayed up late reading this one.
Looks
like Whiskers, Wreaths &
Murder, the third in the
Dickens & Christie
Mystery series
by Kathy Manos Penn will be a 'Christmas in July' read as I
wasn't about to wait
for December! Leta is
looking forward to her first Christmas in the Cotswolds, but the mood
is soured when the new (American) earl announces horrible plans to
develop the family estate he recently inherited. Even his wife thinks
it's extreme. So, when he is found dead in a ditch after a car
accident (or was it) there are certainly lots of suspects! It will be
up to Leta and her talking pets to figure things out. Just a fun
series.
