Death Along The Dee
In his 2024 novel, David Ebsworth takes us back to Victorian Wrexham and Chester for yet another intriguing puzzle. Alfred Neobard Palmer is back – and so is Ettie, now his wife. Eight years earlier they’d been warned never again to interfere with police business. But now their skills are needed again. A body deliberately drowned but left abandoned on the banks of the River Dee. Then two further murders, each more bizarre than the last – killings which draw them ever further into a circle of unlikely allies, eccentric suspects, of old enemies, and into the murky world of Fenian plots and bombings. Ebsworth weaves another unusual crime story, very much in the tradition of Margery Allingham’s The White Cottage Mystery.
Murder and mayhem.
