Death of an Author
John Rhode
Goodness knows, as every author that I’ve ever met (which is quite a few, #humblebrag) is absolutely lovely. Nigel Ebbfleet, the author in question here, is a similarly nice bloke. After years of writing, he has finally written that elusive successful book, Unborn To-morrow, a book that means he can retire and live off the royalties, despite that unnatural hyphen. He arranges with his agent to finish his current book and then retire to Lawn Cottage in Wryminster to live out his days.
After Ebbfleet is killed by an explosion while chopping wood (yes, you read that correctly), Superintendent Jimmy Waghorn finds himself with very few suspects. The only person who would benefit financially was nowhere near Wryminster when the explosion – and a previous attempt at Ebbfleet’s life – occurred. With no evidence and no motive, can Jimmy – with a little help from Dr Priestley – possibly find the murderer?
