Murder in the Neighbourhood
(2016)(The second book in the Diane Dimbleby Cozy Mystery series)
A Novella by Penelope Sotheby
A fatal "accident". A caretaker who knows more than he is letting on. Diane Dimbleby has her work cut out.
When Diane's dear friend and neighbour is found dead by one of her caretakers, Diane is traumatized.
The caretaker's story of an accidental fall isn't adding up and Diane uncovers a clue that contains a cryptic message.
The evidence leads Diane to a remote Island. What she finds there points to something premeditated, something sinister. Soon, Diane finds herself in the centre of a whodunit and she must once again use her ingenious wit to save her own life and uncover the killer.
A curious writer. A determined detective. Suspects crawling out of the woodwork. Murder in the Neighbourhood: A Diane Dimbleby Cozy Mystery is part of a series of books by author Penelope Sotheby.
If you are a fan of cozy mysteries that contain an ingenious but modest woman sleuth then you will love Diane Dimbleby's second adventure.
Interview with the Author
Q - Can you tell us more about your Diane Dimbleby series of books? What are they about?
A - The books concern the adventures of Diane Dimbleby, a retired school teacher who is now a writer of mystery novels. She lives in the quiet English village of Apple Mews - a place where nothing should ever really happen, but of course murder is never very far away and Diane is always compelled to investigate.
Q - Who would this book appeal to, who is your target market?
A - Women between 35 - 65 but anyone really who loves whodunit books.
Q - For those of us who are unfamiliar with the term "Cozy Mystery" what does it mean?
A - A cozy mystery is a mystery novel without the graphic sex or violence that one might expect from some whodunit mysteries. It is a very popular genre at the moment with many cozy mystery free kindle books currently on Amazon.
Q - Can you tell us more about yourself, what do you do other than write Murder Mysteries?
A - I am a mother and a grandmother. I am an avid gardener and host Murder Mystery weekends. I currently live in England most of the time. Other than writing, I do of course spend lots of time reading whodunit mysteries.
Q - What other stories have you written? Can you give us a brief overview of some of your stories?
A - I have written a novella called "Murder in the Inn" which has a cozy mystery small town setting but set on a small Canadian Island. What they have in common with the Diane Dimbleby books though is that they are all whodunit books.
Q - What will you be working on next?
A - I am currently working on a new series of books that follow the adventures of a superb Attorney at Law called Daniel Swift. Daniel is in his mid-30s and lives in the paradise setting of Key West. Unlike many in his profession Daniel is the epitome of honesty. He is also one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country which a dedication not just to his clients, but to the pursuit of truth.
