Takeout Double (The Cassie Swann Mysteries) (Volume 1)
(Two years of teaching biology had been enough. Two years ...)
Two years of teaching biology had been enough. Two years of dissecting frogs and reeking of formaldehyde had finally persuaded Cassie Swann to set up as a bridge professional instead. So far, she has managed to make a reasonable living, operating from her Cotswold cottage. And then, during a Winter Bridge Weekend at a country-house hotel, she finds three of her punters dead around the green-baize table. And at least one of them is indisputably the victim of murder. Nothing to do with Cassie - or is it? When she realises that her livelihood is now threatened by the unwanted notoriety, she is forced to undertake some investigations of her own. Set amid the eccentricities of English village life Takeout Double is the first in a marvellous series featuring an amateur sleuth in the obsessive world of bridge players.

Lower lngleford seems a typical rural hamlet in the sunlit uplands of northern England, complete with Village Institute, village green, and lord of the manor. But something is seriously amiss: milking equipment explodes; brakes are tampered with; bullets fly - someone is trying to kill the squire. Or so it seems. And the motives are tangled in a morass of shady property deals, art forgeries, and various dubious business practices. When Kendal Sartain, local landowner and apparent target, calls on Penny Wanawake for help, he gets it. And rather more than he'd bargained for. Six feet, 1261bs, Bovril-black, rich, beautiful and totally uninhibited - when Penny seeks a solution, there is nowhere for a solution, however timid and retiring, to hide.

Who killed Lady Portia Wickham? Although the two never met, Cassie Swann had felt an instant, rapport with the sensual victim after noticing her portrait during an evening of bridge-playing at Halkam Court. So why was Portia walking up her own drive in the rain, after midnight? How did the murderer know she would be there? And why should Cassie get involved, when the police have no shortage of suspects? It is the arrest of Lady Wickham’s good looking young butler Jamie which forces Cassie to seek out the real killer - at the same time plunging herself into extreme danger. High life, low life and plenty of life in-between characterise this second novel featuring a marvellous amateur sleuth and the obsessive world of bridge players.

(When one of Cassie Swann’s bridge partners, Naomi Harris,...)
When one of Cassie Swann’s bridge partners, Naomi Harris, dies from an overdose, she is shocked but not suspicious.

Guiltily aware that she was not a good friend to Naomi while she was alive, Cassie decides to try to find the truth – and soon discovers that while Naomi had little reason to kill herself, there are several reasons why someone might have wanted her dead. Complications in her own life don’t make things any easier. Torn between DS Paul Walsh and the persistent attentions of Charlie Quartermain, she suddenly finds a menacing figure is stalking her. As she closes in on the mystery of Naomi’s troubled life, she is about to discover some very dangerous secrets.
