Book Details
About the Book
In England’s New Forest, wild ponies roam the winter heath — and beneath the ancient, towering pines, one family’s secrets are beginning to surface.
Eleven months ago, Detective Elinor Saxby left Birmingham for a fresh start. A quieter posting. A new team. A chance to prove herself.
Then her boss sends her to the woodland funeral of his old friend. Respected scientist Philip died in hospital of natural causes. Everyone says so. Except his daughter.
Now Philip’s daughter-in-law comes to Elinor with an even more disturbing story. Before he died, Philip was frightened. He believed someone was threatening him.
And she has proof. A blood-stained arrow, found in Philip’s locker.
He claimed it merely scratched him during archery practice. An accident.
So why did he keep it?
Three days later, Philip’s widow is found murdered on a forest path — shot through the chest with an arrow.
Suddenly Philip’s death doesn’t seem so simple.
Two deaths. One family. Someone in the New Forest knows exactly what secrets the couple took to their graves — and they’ll do anything to stop Elinor from learning the truth.
Have you met Linda Mather…
Linda Mather is the author of the Jo and Macy Mystery series. The 6th book in this series is THE PERFECT HOUSE FOR MURDER, published in August 2023.
Her Jo and Macy Mystery books are Forecast Murder, A Sign for Murder, Murder as Predicted, The Hanged Man and A Future Murder, all published by Joffe Books and available on Amazon. They feature Jo Hughes and her private investigator boss David Macy. Jo is an astrologer, who also works as a PI and whose tenacious inquiries lead her to twisty resolutions.
The Jo and Macy Mysteries series is set in the West Midlands and Cotswolds. A sense of place is really important to Linda. She likes to research the places she writes about by visiting when she can to absorb the atmosphere, weaving the details into the stories.
The idea for her latest book came to her during lockdown during many canal walks. The cottages with their flower-filled window boxes and the idyllic pubs along the canal path are so pretty and perfect that it looks as if nothing bad could ever happen there. Linda saw this as a challenge.
Linda has recently landed a contract for 3 books in a police thriller series and is currently writing the first of these, which is set in the New Forest.
She also has plans for the next Jo & Macy Mystery.
