Lesley Cookman's bestselling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant is back for its fifth instalment.



Middle-aged artist-come-investigator Libby Sarjeant can't ever seem to have a quiet moment. Her son, Adam, has uncovered a body within Creekmarsh Place, where he is working as a gardener for TV personality Lewis Osbourne-Walker.



The police seem to think there is no connection with the current owner but Libby, naturally, can't just leave it at that. With her psychic friend Fran's mind on other things, Libby has to go it alone.



A murder in London inspires the police to dig deeper and Libby, determined to help her new friend Lewis, stirs up more trouble.

About the Author
Like many authors, Lesley started writing stories as a child. After a checquered beginning, including jobs as varied as actor, model, cabin crew and nightclub DJ, she fell into feature writing for publications including Business Matters, Which Computer and Poultry Farmers Weekly. She progressed to short stories for the vibrant Women's magazine market and, following a Master's Degree where she met her publisher, she turned to her first literary love of Traditional British Mysteries. The Libby Sarjeant series is still going strong, and has been joined by The Alexandrians, an Edwardian mystery series. Lesley also continues to work with her local theatre, which often finds its way into her books.
