| Synopsis: |
The Colonel returns, in an atmospheric village mystery from best-selling author Margaret Mayhew. In his time living in the peaceful village of Frog's End, the Colonel has learned that although the place might look as lively as a stagnant pond, beneath the surface there is plenty going on. But after recovering from a nasty bout of flu, the Colonel's most pressing concerns are of a prosaic nature - his new garden shed, and the terrace that his friendly neighbour, Naomi, has talked him into having built. When he receives a letter from an old friend of his late wife, telling him that 'something horrible has happened' and asking for his help, he is intrigued and happy to assist her. But when he travels up to see Cornelia, he is shocked by what he uncovers, and he soon realizes that, unless he takes the investigation into his own hands, Frog's End will have to do without him for longer than he expected... |
