Folly: A British Murder Mystery Set in the Cotswolds: 1 (An Alex Duggins Mystery) - Tapa dura

"In this dramatic series opener from bestseller Cameron, Alex Duggins returns to her native Folly-on-Weir, in the Cotswolds ... Cameron conveys a strong sense of place and the insularity of Folly-on-Weir's residents"--Publishers Weekly

"Following a painful divorce, Alex Duggins returns to Folly-on-Weir, the English village where she grew up; buys the village pub; installs the two former owners as managers; and starts to think her future is looking rosy. Then, on an early morning walk in the woods, Alex discovers the mutilated body of what appears to be a monk, with a dart - suspiciously similar to the darts from her pub - buried deep in his throat ... A fearless, feisty heroine, a touch of romance, and an intriguing look at English village life, combined with taut suspense and unexpected twists, transform what starts out looking like a British village cozy into a mesmerizing, knuckle-whitening thriller. A top-notch blending of subgenres, much in the manner of Louise Penny"--Booklist

"A thrilling conclusion, combined with cliffhanger chapter endings, guarantees readers will be flipping the pages late into the night"--Library Journal
