Blood Lies: A Dido Hoare Mystery

In Blood Lies: A Dido Hoare Mystery, Marianne MacDonalds sleuthing antiquarian book dealer""and self-described city girl ""turns her attention to smalltown crime when a visit to her old friend Lizzy Waring (nEe Harper) reveals the proper Waring familys dark past. As Lizzys parents-in-law go insane, her husband gets dodgy and her brother-in-law returns from prison, it becomes clear that an old manslaughter charge, a valuable missing first edition and a new death are all somehow connected, and that its up to the enterprising and likable single mom to figure out how.
