Hugely popular author makes this beautiful historic city of Cambridge, England, leap off the page, with the eccentric Professor of poisons, Elizabeth Green, in this English crime fiction series.
What the fast-growing number choosing the popular Cambridge Murder Mysteries have to say...
"Murder in Cambridge? Check out the new novel by local author @queencharlot...a truly gripping read!" Cambridge Literary Festival @camlitfest Twitter
"I really enjoyed this book, always like finding a new author with something a little bit different in the crime genre." Amazon review
"A clever tale, well written, nice strong characters with an interesting blend of personalities. Everyone has strengths and frailties which makes them well-rounded and believable. If you like a mystery that is a well told story, not just a collection of horrors, then this could be the book and the series for you." Amazon review
The plot The quintessentially English Professor Elizabeth Green is not herself, shut in her bedroom she doesn't even have time for her grandson, Godric, whom she adores. As the director of the student play, Godric, meanwhile, attends a College Valentine's Banquet with some of his troupe. Soon after, he is one actor down, a body is found. Meanwhile, Inspector Abley's messy divorce has brought him alone up to Grantchester, as Sergeant Lemon steps in to lend support. With mystery after mystery building up, will Professor Green open her door to help?
The Series The Cambridge Murder Mysteries are set in the heart of Cambridge, England, featuring a vegan and animal-loving sleuth Elizabeth Green, and her sidekicks Inspector Abley and grandson, Godric. As the series unfolds, we learn more about these characters and their lives. 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 you'll get a murder mystery fuelled by poison in the dark alleys of Cambridge today!
