Winteringham Village 1947
As a thank you for her
previous brilliant crime solving, amateur sleuth, Martha Miller is guest of
honour at the Winteringham Country Fair. However, this time she is looking
forward to simply judging dog shows and eating cream teas rather than
apprehending a killer!
And Martha is just beginning
to enjoy spending quality time with Vicar Luke Walker away from the prying eyes
and gossips of her own village, when disaster strikes, and the local teenage
femme fatale is found stabbed to death behind the tea tent by Martha’s trusted
red setter Lizzie!
But who would want to kill
such a young girl and why? Someone in the village has secrets to hide and it
seems Martha and Luke have another case to solve!
Let the investigation
commence!

My Review:A second cosy mystery, set in a
rural village in 1947, Daggers at the Country Fair is another opportunity for
Martha Miller to use her amateur detective skills yet again.
Martha has been asked to open a
local village fair, what everyone doesn’t bank on is someone being murdered and
the whole villages secrets start becoming public knowledge. Everyone is in the
frame for this murder with most men having some connection to the victim.
I felt this book was a little more
to the point than the previous one but contained more red herrings and some interesting
twists along the way. I enjoyed seeing how the mystery was solved and it took
me a while to piece the clues together.
I really enjoy seeing Martha’s
character development from book one, she’s becoming more confident and her
relationships/friendships are developing. She is making headway in getting
locals in her own village she understand her and see her as Martha and not the
woman with her husband buried in her garden (he ISNT, he walked out).
I’d love a little more romance
with Luke, but as the story is very in keeping with the era I think we need to solve
the missing husband mystery.
A charming read, I thoroughly
enjoyed it and I will look forward to the next visit.
