Reunited in Death
(2013)(The second book in the Pitkirtly Mysteries series)
A novel by Cecilia Peartree
This is the second in a series of quirky mystery novels set in a small town in Scotland.
When Jemima Stevenson helps to organise a Pitkirtly Homecoming day she has no idea that she has invited some of her long-lost cousins into danger.
Reunited in Death is a cautionary tale for family historians and an entertaining read for others. Don't forget, there are some family occasions you won't want to put in your scrapbook!
A local librarian goes missing. Just as family researchers from across the world gather in Pitkirtly, news arrives that her body has been found in the river. The Homecoming day must go ahead as it's too late to cancel, but before long a murder takes place. As the police investigations get under way, Jemima and her friends race to do the research that they hope will uncover the secret behind the deaths before the murderer catches up with Jemima herself.
A Publisher's Weekly review said of this novel:
'An unlikely cast of endearingly eccentric characters distinguish this offbeat mystery set in Pitkirtly, an appropriately quirky town on the Scottish coast....Memorable characters, delightful word pictures -- an assistant librarian "looked like a piece of chewed string" -- and understated humor highlight a novel with real promise.'
Genre: Cozy Mystery
