The Lichfield Jigsaw Murders

Murdered corpses aren’t an everyday occurrence in the Midlands cathedral city of Lichfield. When Detective Inspector Jean Mason is called to view the body of a young woman found on the banks of Stowe Pool, a few minutes’ walk from the centre of the city, she is shocked to recognise the victim’s face.
Only the previous day she had travelled on the same train carriage as the dead woman, who had been arguing with an older man before she gave him the slip at Lichfield City station.
As Mason investigates who killed Nicola Toomey and why the murder was committed, the different conflicting clues, few as they are, begin to resemble a jigsaw puzzle more than a murder mystery.

The story was written in parts by the Lichfield Writers, and then assembled and reassembled until it reached its present form.
