Description

FIRST, the saucy film of a nude woman bathing is stolen from a What the Butler Saw machine on Brighton’s Palace Pier. NEXT, the pier’s night-watchman is murdered - his body found in the coconut shy. COLIN CRAMPTON, ace reporter on the Evening Chronicle, senses a scoop when he’s the only journalist to discover a link between the two crimes. HE UNCOVERS a 50-year feud between twin sisters - one a screen siren from the days of silent movies, the other the haughty wife of an aristocrat. BUT COLIN’S investigation spirals out of control - as he RISKS HIS LIFE to land the biggest story of his career. STOP PRESS MURDER, a Swinging Sixties mystery, has more twists and turns than a country lane. It will keep you guessing - and laughing - right to the last page.

A Note From the Publisher

Second book of a burgeoning series. Moves the English cozy murder from the country village to a popular seaside setting. Makes the hero a newspaper crime correspondent who's chasing a story as well as solving a murder. Blends teasing mystery with gentle humour and 1960s nostalgia.

Advance Praise

Headline Murder is an amiable romp through the shady back streets of 1960s Brighton. Its central character, the breezy journalist Colin Crampton, is very engaging and I look forward to his next investigation.
