An English Murder

Meer over het boek

The most idyllic village in the prettiest of England's rural counties twitches in the grip of mystery when the Cowpers, an altogether respectable middle-aged couple, are discovered unbucolically dead on their kitchen floor. Their teenage daughter, meanwhile, has gone missing, and the local newspaper headline screams: "Where is Gemma?" The nasty event shocks the entire village, and stirs the ambitions of a young reporter who sees the double murder as a way to sell a big story to national papers.
