The racecourse draws crowds—and trouble.
When a local boy dies beneath a passing train, millionaire horse-owner William Hall-Walker vanishes, and reluctant sleuth Inspector Browning is dispatched to investigate. A corpse at the vinegar factory, brutal slogging gangs in the pubs, and an old adversary on the prowl… Browning soon uncovers far more than he bargained for.
A Village in Turmoil is the first Inspector Browning mystery.
Review & Praise
This is a fantastic read… I finished this book in three sittings, because I just didn't want to put it down! Whilst the story is set in 1905, it feels fresh, and the author has an ability to enable you to visualise everything. If Mr Patterson or Mr Child had their name on this book, it would already be a best seller.
