The Garths had farmed their fertile acres for generations, and fine land it was with the towering hills of the Lake Country on the far horizon. Here hot-tempered Robert Garth, still hale and hearty at eighty-two, ruled Garthmere Hall with a rod of iron. Until, that is, old Garth was found dead–'dead as mutton'–in the trampled mud of the ancient outhouse.
Glowering clouds gather over the dramatic dales and fells as seasoned investigator Chief Inspector Macdonald arrives in the north country. Awaiting him are the reticent Garths and their guarded neighbours of the Lune Valley; and a battle of wits to unearth their murderous secrets.
First published in 1944, Fell Murder is a tightly-paced mystery with authentic depictions of its breathtaking locales and Second World War setting.
I don’t read many mysteries. This one sounds intriguing though. I couldn’t resist requesting a few Fall/Halloween cozy mysteries from NetGalley though.
I love seasonal mysteries!
Yes, they are fun to read!
Nice cover….enjoy the book and your week.
It is pretty.
Poisoned Pen Press is top notch. I bet that’s great!
I love how many re-released mysteries I’ve read lately.
You do a good job getting these vintage mysteries. Happy Reading!
I do love them. Thanks for stopping by.
One of those books that sounds like it might have stood the test of time, this does sound good.
a lot of older mysteries have some parts that wouldn’t fly today, but I enjoy them nonetheless.
This sounds intriguing! I love that it’s an old mystery being published again. Hope you enjoy it, have a great week!
