Book description
'A new Simon Brett novel is an event for mystery fans!' P.D. James'Simon Brett writes stunning detective stories. I would recommend them to anyone' Jilly CooperIntroducing a new, but not-so-amateur, sleuth from another peaceful English village with an alarmingly high death rate! The first mystery in a new cosy series from one of the world's favourite crime writers - perfect for fans of Richard Osmand, Janice Hallett, Robert Thorogood and M. C. Beaton._______________________Meet Major Bricket, an infrequent resident of Highfield House in Stunston Peveril, Suffolk. In the past the Major's work assignments, frequently in foreign countries, have prevented him from spending much time there and as a result, there is an air of mystery around him while everyone in the village speculates on the nature of his occupation.But now the Major has retired and has come home for good in his open-topped little red sports car... and what a homecoming it is, for lying spreadeagled on his lawn in the summer sunshine is the corpse of a clown.The circus is in Stunston Peveril for the annual village fair, yet none of their quota of clowns is missing - or at least, nobody is saying. Could the body be that of an unfortunate early guest at the village's highlight of the social calendar, the Fincham Abbey Costume Ball?Fortunately Major Bricket's past clandestine career means that he is now very well placed to solve the mystery of the dead clown on his camomile lawn . . ._______________________Praise for Simon Brett:'Murder most enjoyable' Colin Dexter'Few crime writers are so enchantingly gifted' Sunday Times'Like a little malice in your mysteries? Some cynicism in your cozies? Simon Brett is happy to oblige' New York Times'A delightful, thoroughly English whodunnit' Daily Mail'The wittiest around' Antonia Fraser
