A cold-hearted act. A vexed sleuth. When local champion of industry and cricket fan Sir Gerald Langton is found dead in the cellar at the Jolly Cricketer after a charity cricket match, the idyllic pub is thrown into turmoil. Was it an accident, or did someone commit a terrible deed? Veronica Vale, our spirited amateur sleuth, can't ignore the signs foul play is most clearly afoot. The Jolly Cricketer becomes the centre of the investigation as Veronica uncovers secrets hidden beneath the polite, upper-class facade. From gossip shared over a gin fizz to rivalries on the cricket pitch, Veronica sorts friend from foe in a community where nearly everyone has a motive and almost everyone has something to hide. As she follows a trail that leads from dusty records to scandalous affairs, Veronica finds herself drawn into a mystery with more twists than a perfectly bowled over. And when an old friend and fellow journalist is accused of the murder, the pressure mounts to find the killer. *** Death at the Jolly Cricketer is book 7 in the Veronica Vale Investigates series, a delightfully gripping 1920s historical cozy mystery that invites readers into a world where secrets simmer and traditions hold sway until a deadly scandal threatens to unravel it all.
