Murder Unearthed Anita Waller- Crime

Two young women have gone missing simultaneously from a small sleepy Derbyshire

village. A young man has been found killed having crashes his car whilst covered in mud.

An older gentleman is looking for his son whom he has never met as his mother

disappeared a couple of months before the birth. Kat, Mouse (beth) and Doris have

a good relationship with the local police force and occasionally are brought in to

cases having come across a clue or oddity by accident. The missing son is more

the bread and butter of their business- Connections- a private investigation agency.

I love this series. It’s one you know you will feel at home with. Nothing to gory or

scary, wonderful characters that you take to (or not in some cases) and Anita’s

special magic of putting together a cleverly thought out plot that nine or ten times

out of ten you wonder how it got there. This is part of a series and could be

read alone but far better in sequence, and why miss out on the first two

wonderful ones? I understand that the next one will be the last in the series

and I will miss Kat, Mouse and Doris as they are such lifelike, wonderful

characters that you feel you could happily have them as friends.

Another stunning read Anita- thank you.

Murder Unearthed blurb When DI Tessa Marsden is called to a road traffic accident, she is disturbed by the crime scene she must investigate. She now has a double murder to contend with; two dead girls from the same village. Realising the murders aren’t linked, Marsden summons the help of the Connection Investigation Agency, run by Kat, a church Deacon, Beth, (known affectionately as Mouse), a computer expert, and Doris, Beth’s feisty grandmother. When it is discovered that one of the murdered girls was pregnant the case takes an unexpected turn. Can DI Marsden, with the input of Kat and Mouse, solve the case before another body appears? Meanwhile, the agency has been asked to track down the long lost son of Ewan Barker. Will Kat, Mouse and Doris find him and reunite him with his father? This might just be their toughest investigation yet…

Anita was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and has lived all her life there. She has three adult children and seven grandchildren ranging in age from 9 months to 21 years. Anita and Dave have been married almost 49 years! She wrote Beautiful in 1985 and had it accepted for publication. They were the contract stage when the publishing house went into liquidation. Like many another book it ended up in the loft until two years ago when she resurrected it, retyped all 100,000 words (it was orginally written on an Amstrad 8256 and all she had was a hard copy!) and sent it off to Bloodhound Books. She is now retired from my life of being a Patchwork Tutor and HGV driver's wife and concentrates on patchwork for the pleasure of it and writing. She started writing at around the age of 8 - she clearly remembers writing 'novels' at that age which were actually short stories split into chapters! Anita's genre is murder - but murder with a good reason behind it!
