Death at Beacon Cottage
Betty Rowlands (Author)
"The sun breaks through the clouds to shine on a little cottage where a mossy path leads to the front door, but inside something terrible has happened ... Police photographer Sukey Reynolds is looking forward to a quiet weekend gardening at home, when she gets a call that there has been a shocking break-in at a local manor house. Once she begins to gather evidence, Sukey realises that this is the latest in a spate of well-crafted burglaries in the Cotswolds. Someone is targeting expensive houses with valuable art collections ... Thankfully, the police soon have a suspect in custody. But, during questioning, he suddenly catches a glimpse of Sukey, turns deathly pale and calls out to her. Sukey is sure she has never met this man before ... Is this a bizarre joke, or is there a stranger out there who is Sukey's perfect double in every way? Just as Sukey begins to suspect she's being followed, the police are baffled by a spate of local murders. With the body count rising, and the police unsure of where to turn, is Sukey herself a clue in this strange case? Can she unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim?"--Page 4 of cover
