Murder in autumn - Lesley Cookman

The deliciously twisty twenty-fourth novel in the much-loved Libby Sarjeant series by Lesley Cookman.


Libby Sarjeant is proudly hosting an original production of Much Ado About Nothing at the Oast Theatre, which features a daring twist on the classic play. But an old acquaintance of Libby's - irascible director Constance Matthews - is outraged by the show, stirring strong feelings throughout Steeple Martin.


When a body is subsequently found in the woodlands of a grand estate, the community is shocked by the prospect of murder. But the case is far from straightforward, with dark secrets lurking beneath the surface.
