The decayed body of a woman is found in the woods near Braxham Parva in the English countryside. The village is acutely described, and the main characters are sympathetic. The condition of the body is sensitively but accurately detailed. Everything looks set for a cosy English mystery -- that is until..........

The Novel was nominated for an Edgar Award.

Thank You William, I am glad you typed all that, you saved me a lot of work.  I was contemplating putting all that information in the text description of one of the plays but I didn't feel like doing all that typing.

When you are trying to find info on the plays it is really difficult with so many pen names, especially when you have the same novel published in different countries with a different title and pen name(Author) on each.  The old saying that you cannot find the players without a score card rings very true with this author.
