Marcia Beasley of St John’s Wood is found in her home naked, shot in the head and covered with a coal scuttle. Detective Sergeant Greenleaf is tasked with unraveling the layers of Marcia’s life to bring meaning to her gruesome death. While the Police investigation plods on, Marcia’s niece Rosy finds herself unwittingly drawn into a family mystery involving espionage and foreign intrigue. Will she establish the involvement of the abrasive Miss Collinger and will Miss Burkiss ever yield her keys to the broom cupboard?
REVIEWS
"This delightful dark comedy is set in a London that is recovering after the Second World War... Wittily and fluently written, with a neat plot that twists and turns to a satisfying conclusion, A Little Murder is a fine entertainment."

'A perfect mixture of funny and acerbic, with a cast of colourful characters and a school of well-deployed red herrings, A Little Murder is wholly delightful.' LAURA WILSON, author of STRATTON'S WAR 'This dry, funny British gem, with its eccentric cast of characters, will leave readers laughing and eagerly awaiting the next episode' --Publishers' Weekly
'Utterly wonderful, sparkling dialogue, bring on the next!' --Mystery Women
SUZETTE HILL was born in East Sussex, and spent much of her childhood playing spies and smugglers on Beachy Head and picnicking at the foot of the Long Man of Wilmington. Hill worked as a teacher in both public school and adult education before retiring in 1999. She now lives in Ledbury, Herefordshire. At the age of sixty-four and on a whim, she took up a pen and began writing. Hill has since published six novels, including the Reverend Oughterard series.
