Publisher's summary

The Barrister Murder is a gripping murder mystery set in the tranquil yet deceptive English countryside during the 1920s. This tale of suspense will captivate fans of classic whodunits and psychological thrillers.

Simon Bickel, a renowned barrister known for his relentless courtroom tactics, seeks respite at his brother William's idyllic estate in Carmenshire. The peaceful countryside promises a much-needed break from the high-stakes Munson case that has consumed Simon's life. However, tranquility quickly turns to terror when Simon and his guests, Vera Lewis and Howard Torrance, stumble upon a gruesome scene in the estate's intricate maze.

The discovery of William Bickel's lifeless body is only the beginning. As Simon, Vera, and Howard navigate the labyrinthine hedges, they uncover secrets that cast doubt on everyone around them. Family tensions, hidden pasts, and sinister motives intertwine, leading to another shocking murder within the maze.

Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield arrives to investigate, bringing his sharp intellect and piercing gaze to untangle the web of deceit. As the mystery deepens, Sir Clinton must discern friend from foe and unravel the truth behind the murders. Each character, from the enigmatic secretary Parker to the troubled nephew Donald, holds pieces of the puzzle, but can they be trusted?

The Barrister Murder combines the atmospheric charm of the English countryside with the relentless suspense of a classic murder mystery. Rich with period details and complex characters, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats, guessing until the final revelation.

Join the investigation and delve into a world where every hedge hides a secret, and every turn in the maze could lead to a deadly discovery.
