____________________
The body of a beautiful woman is found, posed in prayer, on the altar steps of Hereford Cathedral.
Police immediately assume it’s the work of the ‘Sacristan’ — a serial killer who deposits his victims’ bodies in quiet country churches. But this crime scene is different. Is the Sacristan sending a new message?
Detectives Lambert and Hook soon realise that nothing about this case is straightforward.
The victim led a complicated life and had a number of enemies, each with their own dark motive.
Lambert and Hook begin to suspect this is the work of a daring copycat killer.
Now there are two murderers to bring to justice. Can the detectives find the killers before the body count grows?
An Unsuitable Death will have you totally hooked at every turn. It’s perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Agatha Christie, L. J. Ross, Joy Ellis, M.C. Beaton and Faith Martin.

THE DETECTIVES
Entering middle age, Superintendent John Lambert has a lifetime of experience under his belt. He may be less spirited than he was in his youth. And more reluctant to leave the peaceful bliss of the garden or the golf course. But his policeman’s instincts are sharp and unshakeable.
Detective Sergeant Bert Hook is five years Lambert’s junior, but his ponderous gait and demeanour make him seem the older of the two. His village bobby exterior conceals a shrewd and active brain.
THE SETTING
Much of the Cotswolds is made up of villages busy with their own concerns. They’re connected by hawthorn-edged lanes and separated by the River Severn, which traces a serpentine route between farmlands, cricket fields, and ancient cathedral cities. There are tracts where the river scarcely moves, passing between rich, green valleys. And all manner of things get trapped here by the low-hanging boughs of willows.
In the city of Gloucester, both the river and the people move faster. It’s not a city like London, or even Oxford. But a busy place, where people don’t have much time to study those who pass them in the streets. Not so good for disposing of a body, but perfect for dissolving into a crowd.
