Murder in Pelham Wood
(2022)(The prequel to the Hermione Bradbury and Lyle Revel Mystery series)
A Novella by Jared Cade
A beautiful four-hundred-year-old wood, nestling on the edge of an English village, is the perfect place for a romantic stroll for the crime-solving duo of cellist Hermione Bradbury and actor Lyle Revel. Their discovery of a dead girl’s body results in a local man being convicted of her murder and being sentenced to life in prison. Hermione and Lyle have their doubts about his guilt, especially after a second woman is attacked in Pelham Wood in identical circumstances.
Is the real killer the aging lothario who happens to be the director of a local theatre that he runs with the help of his wife, a former voice-over artist for a series of soft-core porn movies? Or is it the middle-aged peer accused of getting the dead girl pregnant? Might it be the moody Romanian violinist who has been rejected by the woman he loves?
As Hermione and Lyle set out to discover how many bodies are buried in Pelham Wood, they find themselves trapped inside a psychopath’s lair with nowhere to hide. Will they be able to rely on their wits to escape? Or are they destined to become one of the secrets buried deep in Pelham Wood?
Murder in Pelham Wood is a 32,000-word novella, as ingenious as it is witty, that makes for an exciting read if you love solving impossible crimes and have around four hours to kill. If you adore Agatha Christie and Stephen Leather’s Inspector Zhang mysteries, why not make this utterly gripping murder mystery your next read?
Jared Cade is the number one bestselling author of Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days which is the subject of a BBC television documentary. He is a former tour guide for a bespoke luxury travel company, escorting parties around Agatha Christie’s former home, Greenway in Devon. During an appearance on the British television quiz The $64,000 Question, he won the top prize on his specialist subject of Agatha Christie’s novels.
