THE EDEN PARK KILLER by Frances Lloyd

AN ENTHRALLING MURDER MYSTERY FULL OF SHOCKING TWISTS FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

Sometimes you can just murder your ex. But would you?

Corrie Dawes is exhausted after a long day catering for the wealthy residents of exclusive, gated Eden Park.

She pulls open the back of her delivery van and screams. Inside, a man’s body lays face down in a bowl of leftover trifle — with one of her vegetable knives lodged in his back.

She immediately calls her husband, Detective Jack Dawes. When he arrives they discover the victim is none other than Tom Broadbent, Corrie’s ex.

Corrie hasn’t seen or spoken to Tom in over twenty years. What is he doing in Kings Richington? And more importantly, how has he wound up dead in her van?

Jack’s been warned off the case, and the investigation is handed over to surly Detective Crumb. He’s convinced Corrie lured Tom to her van and killed him — and he’s determined to prove it.

It’s up to Corrie to clear her own name. Can she find the real killer? Or will she pay the price for someone else’s dirty work?

This entertaining and absorbing mystery is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, L.J. Ross, J.R. Ellis, Ian Moore, Catherine Moloney, Richard Osman or Faith Martin.

GOODREADS

My Review A new author for me, I confess I’ve not even seen or heard of them before. But it also means a breath of fresh air, new styles to discover and characters to either love or hate with a passion. With laryngitis, then hospital appointments, then suspected food poisoning, I’ve had plenty of down time to read. So when this came up on offer, I jumped at the chance. And I’m glad I did, now in this book you are shown who the killer is, this is different for me, but you don’t know how they did this or why, so it’s still a puzzle to work out, so knowing the killer wasn’t a spoiler. We have all the usual tropes and clichés but honestly if we didn’t I’d be upset!! I loved the style and the description is on point, and not too much. Great pick me up and I want to read The Greek Killer next. An author to look out for x
