Don't miss A Dangerous Train of Thought, the thrilling latest installment in the Ryder & Loveday series! Pre-order now. ‘A light-hearted twisty thriller… Reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel, with a great cast of characters. A real page-turner!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Year’s Eve, 1962

New Year’s Eve, 1962. As a snowstorm rages in Oxford, the city’s elite gather for the most exclusive party of the year. But the celebrations take a dark turn when a guest is found dead in his car the following morning.

What first appears to be a tragic case of freezing to death after crashing into a snowdrift soon unravels into something far more sinister. When WPC Trudy Loveday and Coroner Clement Ryder arrive to investigate, they uncover a tangled web of secrets that plainly point to murder.

With everyone telling different stories about that fateful night, only one thing is clear: several people had reason to want the victim dead. Trudy and Clement must uncover the truth before the killer escapes with the perfect crime.

A gripping, twisty cosy crime novel, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for the Ryder & Loveday series:

‘Absolutely loved it… The characters were some of the best I’ve read in a long time.’ Angela Marsons, no. 1 bestselling author of the Kim Stone series

‘A brilliant book! The pairing of Ryder and Loveday is a stroke of genius.’ Clare Chase, author of the Eve Mallow and Tara Thorpe mysteries

‘A thrilling whodunit, packed with Martin’s trademark labyrinthine plotting, stunning twists and turns.’ The Lancashire Post

‘A beautifully crafted crime mystery I could not put down.’ Anita Davison, author of the Flora Maguire series

A good cozy mystery.

I like my books to be rougher than this book, but it was just what I needed as a respite from what I’m used to. Characters are developed and main characters are likable. This book is a clean, nice story with a few twists. I enjoyed it, and now will go back to the dregs of society with their murders.

Great edition to this series

Nice change of pace in the plotting of this story. I especially enjoyed the edition of Dr Ryder's son and hope he becomes a regular. The editors synopsis describes the storyline. I would not recommend this book as a stand alone. Start at the beginning, each book is worth a credit.

Good book

A very good book. I like Trudy and the Doc in this, their seventh book. And now we have Vincent. Very interesting.

The story was good. I didn’t guess who-done-it but I didn’t give it too much thought and let the investigation go forward.

Excellent narration by Stephanie Racine.

If I could have given a 7 8 or 9 I would have.

This was a very enthralling mystery. The characters were really interesting. I loved the cat fight. Both the women and the men. It was truly funny. Faith Martin did just a marvelous job of writing this kind of mystery. Stephanie Racine was terrific as narrator. I can hardly wait for the next in this series.

My Only Disappointment is I Finished It Too Quick

I love the time and setting of these novels, but the characters are what make them shine. I’m drawn in and entertained the entire length of the novel. My only disappointment is I’m done and have to wait for the next one.
