“The Cambridge Murder Mysteries and Professor Elizabeth Green transport me away from reality into a world of intrigue. They are so entertaining, I’ve read all the series so far, and am really looking forward to reading this next book” Reader review
The plot When amateur sleuth Professor Elizabeth Green escapes on holiday from personal tragedies to Florence, Italy, with her grandson, Godric, she does not expect to be embroiled in another murder case. A professor of poisons, Professor Green is dragged into an investigation looking for a stolen diamond ring worth millions, allegedly been taken by a man from Cambridge who has died in suspicious circumstances.
Hearing that Professor Green is an expert in solving cases, and with the England connection in the case, Florence based Commissario Lorenzo Bianchi drags Elizabeth away from her holiday to help him solve the murders.
The Series The Cambridge Murder Mysteries series feature an amateur sleuth Professor Elizabeth Green, and her sidekicks Inspector Abley and grandson, Godric. As the series unfolds, we learn more about these characters.
If you like crime fiction, murder mysteries, whodunnits, women sleuths, traditional British detective stories, then you might like these books in the series: Bk1 ‘Poison’, Bk2 ‘Cursed’, Bk3 ‘Blood Moon’, Bk4 ‘A Christmas Mystery’, Bk5 ‘Valentine’s Day – Kiss of Death’, and the novella ‘Christmas Eve in Grantchester’.
Or, if you just like a good mystery set in Cambridge with all the quirky peculiarities of the English, then the Cambridge Murder Mysteries might be for you too.
If you enjoy intelligent storytelling, strong and vulnerable characters with twists and turns of the plot, then you’ll love the puzzles of these whodunnits.
Charlot's fondness for Cambridge is replicated in her series, which has been described as evocative and authentic of this historic English city.
And what of Professor Elizabeth Green? In her fifties, this female protagonist woman sleuth is quintessentially English. An eccentric professor in her ivory tower, she maintains a sharp wit, yet is flawed by her inability to connect well with people, instead giving off a cold, opinionated and sometimes acerbic air. Though very kind to all animals (dogs, cats and the rest!) - a vegan - and a great gardener, in truth she keeps her friends close, and only lets a few dear people into her world.
Pick up this page-turning whodunnit series in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Miss Marple, Colin Dexter and Inspector Morse or Dorothy Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey, and a murder mystery fuelled by poison in the dark alleys of Cambridge today!
