Publisher's summary

Oxford, 1963. In a backstreet club, people dance the night away to their favourite band. But behind the scenes there is trouble afoot. An argument is brewing between bandmembers, two possessive girlfriends have plans for their partners, the club manager is creaming off profits – and a tragic accident leaves the lead singer dead.

But was it an accident at all? Coroner Clement Ryder is suspicious, and WPC Trudy Loveday knows there’s only one thing for it. She’s going undercover, deep into the seedy underbelly of Oxford nightlife.

Meanwhile Clement’s own secret is becoming increasingly difficult to keep hidden, and discovering the singer’s murderer might not be the only shock in store for Trudy…

An unstoppable murder mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Agatha Christie and Val McDermid!

Super clever

It was with a bit of sadness I finished the book, no spoiler here,
But the weaving and webbing of the plot, left me scratching my head-
Thank you Ms.Martin

So good.

The Sixties, the new music scene, and a possible murder. What not to like?

This eighth book in the series has been my favorite so far. I hope it’s not the end because the author left many opportunities for subsequent stories.

The narration was well done by Stephanie Racine again.

Sad to hear the last book

Such a great series read by a very talented reader. I’m looking forward to reading more by Faith.

Boring

Over and over. What one person is considering, thinking, reminiscing…dear lord, let’s just get on with the plot already. Faith is usually much better than this.
