Download or read book West Country Murders written by Nicola Sly and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden behind the picturesque facade of country lanes and rugged coastlines, quaint villages and busy market towns, the South West counties of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset have witnessed some of the most shocking murder cases in British history. West Country Murders brings together over 30 cases from the authors' previous collections here in one volume. They include stories of those who killed for greed, jealousy and lust, as well as those who committed murder in what a well-known judge once described as 'a gust of passion'. Some of the killers were undoubtedly insane at the time of their crimes; others were almost certainly innocent, yet paid the ultimate price for a murder they did not commit. Some remain unsolved to this day, despite the best efforts of the local constabularies. This book is sure to appeal to all those interested in the shady side of the West Country's history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an amateur sleuth's pub colleague is bumped off, can she work out who called time at the bar? Since getting her life back on track after being wrongly accused of murder, Julia Ford is finally realizing her ambition of opening a bookshop in the sleepy English village of Biddle Rhyne. But, best laid plans and all that, things go awry when she stumbles upon the body of Barry, who worked alongside her in the local pub. That another murder has occurred doesn't take much deducing: the knife sticking out of his back strongly suggests it was no accident. This is just the beginning of a series of strange occurrences including stolen diggers, giant haystacks, haunted playground swings, and human remains that drag Julia, kicking and screaming, into another serious(ish) investigation. Juggling a nascent career in crime-solving with one in bookselling, Julia has a lot on her plate. Can she catch another killer, or was her first case beginner's luck? MURDER IN A SOMERSET VILLAGE is the second book in a series of humorous mysteries set in the West Country. Look out for MURDER ON A COUNTRY LANE, the first book. If you enjoy light-hearted cozy mysteries, you'll love these books!
