‘A beautifully crafted crime mystery I could not put down.’ Anita Davison, author of the Flora Maguire series
Oxford, 1960. As the city of Oxford prepares itself for the inaugural Miss Oxford Honey Beauty Pageant at The Old Swan Theatre, excitement is in the air.
Then, tragedy strikes the competition when one of the leading contestants is found dead.
Initially, the authorities assume her death was suicide. But after a malicious series of pranks and blackmail attempts are reported, WPC Loveday and Coroner Clement Ryder are called upon to solve the case.
In an atmosphere of fierce competition, the list of suspects is endless. Could what have started as harmless fun become a deadly race to win the prize?
With time running out, the duo need to spot the killer before tragedy strikes again…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/53rd in the Victor Carl, Philadelphia defense lawyer, series.Another outstanding entry in this series. Carl has become obsessed with his lover, Hailey, a beautiful sad, seductive woman who is also a lawyer. Called one night to the home of his friend Gary, another lawyer--who coincidentally just happens also to be Hailey’s lover with whom Gary is living--Carl finds Gary naked out on the front stoop and Hailey murdered inside. Carl swears to find out the truth of the murder and bring the murderer to justice--and is convinced that Gary is the murderer. Accepting Gary’s request to be his lawyer, Carl cold-bloodedly sets up to sabotage the defense and see Gary get at least life if not the death penalty for the murder.But things are not always what they seem.A fast-paced thriller that follows Carl to Las Vegas, West Virginia, and the inside of a courtroom as the plot takes any number of twists and turns. A new characters shows up, the inimitable Phil Skink, somewhat disreputable private investigator. If nothing else, Lashner has a knack for inventing engaging and unusual private detectives!The writing is above average, the characters believable and well-depicted, and the plot is extremely well-done. Highly recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a great legal thriller. it was a bit slow in parts but i enjoyed the book and would read another book from this author.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Probably my favourite cozy mystery series at the moment. Great dynamics between the leads, really interesting mysteries, enjoyable historical time frame and setting and this one even left on a bit of a cliff-hanger!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/51n 1960 Oxford Grace Farley approaches her old schoolfriend and WPC, Trudy Loveday, because she is concerned. Concerned that recently deceased Abigail Trent's death will be determined a suicide. Thankfully Coroner Ryder becomes interested when informed of Grace's suspicions.
Another enjoyable and interesting mystery in this well-written series, with its likeable two main characters.
