A Dangerous Goodbye
(2020)(The first book in the Fen Churche Mystery series)
A novel by Fliss Chester
‘I was totally captivated from the very beginning… Many times, I was holding my breath… I can’t praise this book enough.' Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fen bit her bottom lip. She was onto something all right. Arthur had sent her a message from beyond the grave. There was more to his death than they were telling her. Would she ever find him?
England, 1944. On a clear autumn morning in late September, time stops for Fen Churche. Waiting on the scrubbed farmhouse table for her is a letter from her cherished Arthur Melville-Hare, a brave, blue-eyed captain who was shipped off to war. Through her tears, she knows what it means – she will never see her fiancé again.
As she reads his last letter, she realises something the War Office didn���t: Fen and Arthur shared a love of crosswords, and he’s left her clever clues to his disappearance.
Desperate to find out what happened to the love of her life, she sets off for France, travelling to his last posting: a quaint village, surrounded by vineyards. But darkness lies beneath the charming surface of this countryside town, and when the beloved priest and the son of a local wine maker are found dead, it’s clear that someone wants to keep wartime secrets buried.
Can Fen stay alive long enough to find out the truth?
A totally gripping story of war, mystery, espionage and murder. Fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd and Rhys Bowen will absolutely adore this unputdownable World War Two murder mystery.
