When Molly Appleton and her new husband go to England for
their honeymoon, she promises no sleuthing or adventures. It’s a tough promise
for the reporter and senior staff writer for Collector’s Weekly, but she’s sticking to her word. Then they go to
tiny Marlow Crossing to visit Molly’s Aunt Tessa and her neighbor turns up dead.
Molly agrees to help the local inspector with his investigation. Molly’s
husband has to return to the US, but she stays on to work on the case. Soon,
two more villagers are missing and the suspects are adding up. Who is a
murderer and who is an innocent bystander?
With side trips to London and another village to follow the
clues and ask some questions, for a while Molly is no closer to finding the
murderer than is the inspector. When things start to heat up, you won’t know
who she is in the most danger from…and neither will Molly.
From antiques to new friendships, there’s plenty to enjoy in
A Devious Lot, so grab your copy, a hot cuppa and enjoy!
Four stars.
