⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great story with enough twists and turns to keep you intrigued and guessing until the very end." Ily R THE WEST COUNTRY CAN BE WILD. A literary festival. A dead body. No fingerprints. At first PC Marnie Olsen thinks the man in the car is asleep. But the lack of movement and strange tilt of the head are a dead giveaway. The only clue is a book signed by local author Juliette Kimani, who is holding court at the Wiltshire literary festival. This could be a real breakthrough. If only the writer wasn't flatly denying ever having met the man . . . Detective Craig Wild discovers that the victim was using a fake name. What did he have to hide? If Wild can find the man's real identity he might just crack this case. But first he must deal with some very dangerous people. Detective Craig Wild will be pushed to his limits in this gripping crime mystery packed with twists and turns. Perfect for fans of Helen. H. Durrant, Rachel McLean, L.J. Ross, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk or Biba Pearce. MEET THE DETECTIVE Detective Craig Wild couldn't cut it in London. Now he must swap the Met for Mayberry, a sleepy Wiltshire backwater where ambition goes to die. He's always been a loner, even when he was married. Like many long-time coppers, it's the job that gives him his sense of self and a purpose. He's a good copper - most of the time. But his method is to follow his nose, disregard his superiors and get the job done. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT WEST COUNTRY MURDER: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A lot of action and fast-paced goings-on.
