Ann Granger Campbell Carter Mystery 7 Books Collection

Ann Granger Campbell Carter Mystery brings together seven crime novels by Ann Granger, set in and around the Cotswolds. Across the collection, rural communities and quiet landscapes are unsettled by sudden deaths, disturbing discoveries and investigations that refuse to fade away.

Life in a Cotswold village is shaken by a death. Monty Bickerstaffe is shocked to discover a corpse in his drawing room.
