M.S. Saxon
A Nose for Murder
A Sylvie Broadstairs Mysteries, Book 1
An aging psychic and amateur sleuth leads a team of misfits through a
double murder mystery with oddball humour, suspense and lively banter.
1986, on the North East coast of England, a performing psychic
has a visitation live on stage by a murder victim who just happens to
be the drag queen hubby she married 48 years prior. When a second family
member drops to the floor during the same performance, she turns detective
and wades into the investigation with all the persistence of a disease
and subtlety of a cannon ball. As the clues begin to stack up, DCI
Seymour Witless is compelled to join the unofficial murder investigation
team himself. Is he hoping this caravan-dwelling clairvoyant can save his
career?
Although this not-so-cosy mystery adventure is a bit sweary in
the dialogue, the âfâ word is used only once - and by a drunken person
balancing at the top of a ladder. The humour however is more liberally
scattered and perhaps suited to the mature reader appreciating a good
British satire with a Geordie flair.
