The Glade Manor Murder

Family secrets come crashing to the surface...

Glade Manor, in the village of the Buckford, has been home to the Morley family for over a century.

For the past thirty years, the family has been looked after by their devoted former nursemaid, now housekeeper, Nanky.

But the family is cast into turmoil when the body of Nanky is found in a quarry, having been violently thrown from a cliff.

With the death clearly murder and the suspects all local, the puzzling case proves too much for the local police force.

Scotland Yard's Chief Superintendent Pollard and Detective Inspector Toye are brought in to solve the mystery.

Who would have a grudge against an unassuming housemaid? Could it have been a member of the Morley family?

And will more dark secrets be uncovered in the grounds of Glade Manor...?

The Glade Manor Murder is the seventeenth cosy village mystery in the Pollard & Toye crime series: an intriguing police procedural set in rural England.
