Présentation de l'éditeur :

When the body of a transport minister is discovered in the grounds on the Honeychurch Hall estate, suspicion as to his unusual demise naturally falls on the residents. After all, who could possibly want a high-speed train line and rolling stock depot built in their front yard?

News of the murder soon reaches local resident Kat Stanford's nemesis Trudy Wynne. A ruthless tabloid journalist and the ex-wife of Kat's discarded lover, Trudy is out for revenge. She is also interested in exposing -and humiliating-Kat's mother Iris, who is secretly the international bestselling romance writer Krystalle Storm.

As the body count begins to build, Kat becomes inextricably embroiled in the ensuing scandal. Is the minister's death the result of a local vendetta, or could it be connected to her mother's unusual past?

Praise for Hannah Dennison:

The perfect classic English village mystery but with the addition of charm, wit and a thoroughly modern touch. (Rhys Bowen)

Downton Abbey was yesterday. Murder at Honeychurch Hall lifts the lid on today's grand country estate in all its tarnished, scheming, inbred, deranged glory. (Catriona McPherson)

A fun read (Carola Dunn)

Sparkles like a glass of Devon cider on a summer afternoon. (Elizabeth Duncan)

Biographie de l'auteur :

Hannah Dennison was born and raised in Hampshire but on leaving school landed a job as an obituary writer/amateur dramatic reviewer for a Devon newspaper. The urge to travel was too strong, however, and she became an air stewardess, first with British Caledonian and then on private planes. Many adventures later she ended up in Los Angeles, where she met her future husband - but now they've moved to more rainy Oregon, which reminds her of home.
