Suspected in Somerset

<p>Lifelong fastidious bachelor John Gainsworth caused quite a stir in the village when he proposed to Daphne Noble a modern young woman who seems his opposite in every way. Daphne and John are relieved when tongues decide to wag about something other than their odd romance... cricket.</p><p> </p><p>For the first time in decades it looks like the village of Mill-Upon-Mortlake might trounce their lifelong rival of Shrewsberry at cricket and secure a spot in the district finals. With Constable Cranford up at bat as well as set to bowl he's a powerful threat that will surely be Shrewsberry's downfall. Mill-Upon-Mortlake to win? That's a wager the entire village will take-which makes it rather problematic when the local bookie Jerome Hatfield is found murdered after the match!<br> </p><p>With Constable Cranford under pressure to find the murderer (without fainting or accidentally destroying evidence) <em>and </em>keep his job when the necessity of a village constable is called into question he once again turns to the detective duo of Noble and Gainsworth to solve the crime of the murdered man and the missing money. <br> </p><p>When Daphne and Mr. Gainsworth discover that just about everyone in Shrewsberry and Mill-Upon-Mortlake had a little flutter on the outcome of the cricket match it means just about everyone had a motive! The question isn't who is suspected in Somerset but rather who<em> isn't</em>! <br> </p><p>Or perhaps the death of Jerome Hatfield had nothing to do with money at all...<br> </p><p>Find out in <em>Suspected in Somerset</em>!<br> </p><p><em>The Mill-Upon-Mortlake Cozy Historical Mysteries can be read in order or as standalones. </em></p><p><em>Perfect for lovers of M.C.
