Face at the Window (Dan Mallett Investigations #5)

Dan Mallett is on the hunt for a silent witness…

1980, West Country of England

Since her husband died, the wealthy Lady Dodds-Freeman has been drinking her days away. Concerned for her welfare, Dan Mallett — gardener by day, poacher by night — resolves to keep an eye on her.

But then the body of one of her neighbours is found in her ladyship’s flat, murdered with a gin bottle. What’s more, a lot of money has gone missing.

As a known felon and employee of Lady Dodds-Freeman, Dan is soon established as a likely suspect.

During the course of the investigation, it comes to light that someone may have seen the crime unfold while spying through her ladyship’s window.

With the police hot on his trail, Dan vows to find the silent witness and discover what really happened that night…

Who was the mysterious face at the window? Why haven’t they come forward?

And can Dan unmask the killer before they strike again…?

Face at the Window is the fifth cosy village mystery in the Dan Mallett Investigation series: private investigation murder mysteries set in rural England.
