Death at Beacon Cottage: An Absolutely Addictive Cozy Mystery Novel

A Sukey Reynolds Mystery, Book 3

By: Betty Rowlands

Narrated by: Katie Villa

The sun breaks through the clouds to shine on a little cottage where a mossy path leads to the front door, but inside something terrible has happened....

Police photographer Sukey Reynolds is looking forward to a quiet weekend gardening at home, when she gets a call that there has been a shocking break-in at a local manor house. Once she begins to gather evidence, Sukey realizes that this is the latest in a spate of well-crafted burglaries in the Cotswolds. Someone is targeting expensive houses with valuable art collections....

Thankfully, the police soon have a suspect in custody. But, during questioning, he suddenly catches a glimpse of Sukey, turns deathly pale and calls out to her. Sukey is sure she has never met this man before.... Is this a bizarre joke, or is there a stranger out there who is Sukey’s perfect double in every way?

Just as Sukey begins to suspect she’s being followed, the police are baffled by a spate of local murders. With the body count rising, and the police unsure of where to turn, is Sukey herself a clue in this strange case? Can she unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim?

A murder mystery for fans of Agatha Christie, Joy Ellis, and Faith Martin from the best-selling queen of cozy crime.

This book was previously published as Copycat.

Very entertaining

This is a very entertaining cozy mystery with a well written plot. There are several twists but Sukey and the police finally sort everything out. I enjoyed this one and will get the next book.

Death at Beacon Cottage

It's taken two books for me overcome my discontent about the author changing pov so often. There are a couple other cliches. I'll let you find them, if you are game. Katie Villa is a great reader.

the main character was just too dumb.

I could not figure out how the author picked his heroin. she was just too dumb to be believed. I don't enjoy a character that is so obviously obtuse but not at all funny.
