Kensington Murder Mysteries
Cozy mysteries
When Kensington’s best-loved barber is found dead in his own shop, his face and hands painted an eerie silver, the whole town assumes it’s a robbery gone wrong.
Agnes Fane knows better.
As Kensington’s newest undertaker, Agnes has spent the war learning that death rarely keeps its secrets for long, not from her. Reluctantly partnered with the town’s buttoned-up new doctor, Syril Reitz, she uncovers a web of family rifts, broken engagements, and old grudges hiding behind Kensington’s respectable front porches, all while dodging a police inspector who’d rather she stayed home with her needlework.
Warm, witty, and steeped in the sights and sounds of post-war South Africa, Silver Murder introduces an undertaker’s daughter with a gift for coaxing secrets from the living and the dead alike, and a mystery that proves some men’s reputations are worth killing to protect.
