Beschreibung
The first gripping standalone title in a brand new detective series

A woman's body lies in the heather, her neck broken. Her horse watches nervously from a few paces away.

Despite looking like an accident, it doesn't take long for DI Callum MacLean, newly arrived in Hampshire from Glasgow, to establish she was murdered.

Nor does it take DS Daisy Donaldson, appearing soon after on horseback, long to identify the victim.

Mary-Ellen Mitchell was a well-known and seemingly well-liked businesswoman, married to a respected local artist, and part of the close-knit community.

The Scottish detective must adapt quickly to his new team, his past experience of policing a tough city jarring with the pace of Fordingbridge and their peculiar ways.

But having hoped for respite in the south, and although made welcome by Daisy, Callum soon feels like he's being used as a pawn in someone else's game.

However, if Callum can evade the pitfalls and marshal his team, they may well catch the wily killer hiding in the shadows of the woods.

MURDER IN THE NEW FOREST is the first novel in a series of mysteries by Carol Cole who, with beautiful prose, deftly transports the reader into the rich tapestry of the southern landscape.

This skilfully crafted story will keep you guessing until the end. The second book in the series, provisionally titled STRAW IN THE WIND, will be available soon.

Über den Autor
Carol was raised in a small village in the New Forest National Park in southern England. Following formal education and with an interest in forensics and police work, she applied to join Hampshire Constabulary. She was unsuccessful as she did not meet the minimum height requirement. Carol wrote short pieces for the farming press, and a series of articles for the RSPCA. Fiction followed, with the¿publication of short stories in magazines, both in the UK and Germany. The broadcast of a play by BBC Wiltshire Sounds and performances of other plays at literary festivals was followed by success in writing competitions. Carol has always liked puzzles and logic, and this is probably the reason she turned to the genre of crime when she began writing novels. Her first novel was long listed in the Plaza Prizes crime category. She is a member of the Crime Writers' Association. She lives in a rural community near the cathedral city of Salisbury with her husband and two rescued feral cats.
