Murder on the Wold

An intriguing double crime mystery, with several plot turns; accompanied by observational humour and whimsical characters.
A slain body (shot through the eye, indicating a gangland killing) is found in dirty scarecrow's clothes; whilst, simultaneously, a young schoolgirl is abducted from her exclusive private school.
Both crimes take place in a quiet English countryside village, sending the ill prepared local police on a wild and often misguided chase to find and catch the perpetrators.
Based in England, this unusual novel, with its sardonic humour; takes you from 'Down Under' Australia, to Scotland's capital, and the forests of darkest Africa.
