A Touch of Murder - Jo A Hiestand - Bog

Tolling church bells are as much an aspect of rural England as are slate-roof cottages and verdant-hedged lanes. But someone in this sleepy village evidently takes exception to one slice of Merrie Olde England, for Roger, Lord Swinbrook is found on Valentines' Day in the bell tower of his estate-frightfully dead and terribly unromantic.DS Brenna Taylor and her colleagues from the Derbyshire Constabulary quickly uncover hidden secrets and open anger among the villagers...anger that may have led to a second murder under similar circumstances as the first. It's hard enough to investigate without her emotions threatening to erupt: her conflicting feelings toward DS Mark Salt, and her mounting fear that her boss, DCI Geoffrey Graham, considers her merely a co-worker. It takes the chilling close to the case, when Brenna's life is in jeopardy, for her to realize what's really important.
