Helena Marchmont Synopses: Murder at the Mousetrap is the first book of the Bunburry series by Helena Marchmont. Alfie McAlister escapes London for the quiet countryside, hoping to heal from a personal tragedy. But the sleepy village of Bunburry is anything but peaceful. When a suspicious death shatters the town’s calm, Alfie finds himself pulled into an unexpected role as an amateur detective—thanks to Liz and Marge, two sharp-witted elderly ladies who were best friends with his late Aunt Augusta. As their investigation deepens, secrets begin to surface, and soon, Alfie realizes that Bunburry may be far more dangerous than it seems…
In
When he stumbles upon a murder scene, the local police sergeant wastes no time in naming Alfie the prime suspect. With the law against him and time running out, there’s only one way to clear his name—find the real murderer himself. And to do that, Alfie will have to drive like never before.
In A Taste of Murder, the third Bunburry mystery, a local beef farmer turns up dead, and all fingers point to Betty Thorndike—vegetarian, Green Party advocate, and most definitely not Alfie McAlister’s girlfriend (despite what the village gossip suggests).
Having been wrongly accused himself, Alfie is determined to clear Betty’s name. With the help of his trusty sleuthing partners, Liz and Marge, he sets out to find the real culprit. But there’s one small hitch—investigating a farm means getting up close with cows, and Alfie has a rather unfortunate fear of them…
In Death of a Ladies’ Man by Helena Marchmont, the fourth Bunburry mystery, summer has brought an influx of tourists—and among them, the charming Mario Bellini, a gelateria owner with film-star looks. His plan to open an ice-cream parlour in Bunburry is cut short when he’s found dead. An accident, or something more sinister?
Alfie McAlister, with his trusty sleuthing partners Liz and Marge, sets out to uncover the truth. But with Liz preoccupied by a potential financial windfall, will they be able to focus on solving the case before the trail goes cold?
In Drop Dead, Gorgeous, the fifth Bunburry mystery from author Helena Marchmont, the village’s tranquility is shattered when Eve Mosby, a wealthy widow with a taste for high fashion and younger men, is found dead in Deb’s Beauty Salon. With plenty of people who disliked her, the suspect list is long—but who disliked her enough to kill?
Even more puzzling for amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister and his trusty allies Liz and Marge is the locked-room mystery: how did the murderer get in and out? As they unravel the secrets behind Eve’s glamorous life, they must crack the case before the killer strikes again.
