Poison in the Parish

Yorkshire’s quiet market towns hide more mischief than the postcards suggest. Between library shelves and shop counters, one former officer can’t resist following the trail of trouble.

Is it an armed robbery or a terrorist incident?

Either way it’s making ex-police officer turned blogger, vlogger, and private investigator, Christine Capper late for an appointment at Haxford public library.

Her former colleagues don’t seem to be making much headway in the search for the town’s infrequent serial killer the Graveyard Poisoner. Not that it has any bearing on Christine’s work, but she’s, well, simply nosy.

With three murders to follow, a vandalised spy camera, library books missing, one of her favourite shopkeepers hospitalised, an automobile obsessed husband, and a lazy cat, Christine is getting nowhere fast, and to compound matters, she keeps forgetting to festoon her wall clock with Christmas decorations.
