Book description
A shattered peace in the tranquil West Country.
The peace of a small West Country village is rudely shattered when
a bomb explodes in the local supermarket. Karen Slocombe, a member
of the Food Chain Group and staunch supporter of local produce,
would not normally care for the loss of a supermarket, but she does
take offence to such violence and that fact that she and her
daughter were very nearly caught up in the explosion.
When, a few days later, Karen witnesses the horrifying murder of an
adjacent stallholder at the local farmer's market, she begins to
wonder just who is committing these seemingly motiveless crimes and
why does she keep finding herself in the middle of the crime scene?
Rebecca Tope lives on a smallholding in Herefordshire, with a full
complement of livestock, but manages to travel the world and enjoy
civilisation from time to time as well. Most of her varied experiences
and activities find their way into her books, sooner or later. Her own
cocker spaniel, Beulah, is the model for Hepzibah, but is
unfortunately ageing much more rapidly.
