Murder They Said cover image  Murder They Said by David Absalom
St Dodsbury is a quiet English village. Quaint and uneventful
- unless you count the high murder rate. 
But even with plenty of murders on offer, does it have room for two amateur sleuths?
 
Globe-trotting amateur detective Mrs Devine tires of her life of adventure and elects to spend the summer in an idyllic English village. However when a body falls out of a Tombola drum at the local bring-and-buy she feels obliged to solve the mystery. And finds herself up against her greatest foe, St Dodsbury's very own amateur detective, the elderly village gossip Miss Acres. As the body count mounts, which lady will be first to unmask the killer, and will they be able to resist killing each other?
