Here’s the set-up:

A terrible crime that no one witnessed. Two suspects that everyone believes are guilty…

Two soldiers recently returned from the Great War are spending their summer larking about, chasing girls, drinking, smoking, and forlornly trying to find gainful employment. Their lives are turned upside down when a girl is murdered on the seafront and they fall under suspicion.

The accusations against them snowball. Surely it was them that other beachgoers saw with the girl, Anne Talbot. Surely, they fit the description. They had extra money that day: the proceeds from robbing her? And one of the men’s suits was stained red – surely not just the result of blackberry picking?

They are convicted by a juggernaut of evidence, although most is circumstantial. And in fact, they were with Anne Talbot that day. But did they do it? Inspector Blades and seconded Scotland Yard investigator CI David Walker are pretty sure they did. And they are determined to make the men go down for the horrific crime.

Facing the death penalty, one of the men begins to suspect his friend did in fact commit the murder. But will he betray his brother in arms to save his own skin?

Here’s the set-up:

A lovely little spot for murder!

Not much happens in Biddle Rhyne, a quiet, picturesque village in the southwest of England. Especially if you don’t count the meat raffle on a Thursday night and the odd sheep escaping a field.

However, that’s all set to change when Julia Ford, a normal(ish) twenty-something who works in the local pub, stumbles upon a murder victim.

Upsetting, but not the end of the world. Particularly as the victim is Audrey White, the cantankerous owner of a nearby garden centre.

But when the police discover Julia had argued with the woman in the past, and her fingerprints are found on a death threat, she is accused of the crime, and her life is turned upside down.

Released on police bail and encumbered with an unfetching ankle tag, Julia will have to clear her own name.
Yet the murderer is intent that she takes the fall. Will Julia land on her feet?
