4.5 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
A cosy English mystery full of twists and turns! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M C Beaton, Sophie Hannah and Faith Martin.

A small-time poacher becomes a number one murder suspect…

1978, West Country of England



Under cover of darkness, poacher Dan Mallett trawls Cobb Wood, hoping to snare gamekeeper Edgar Bland’s prized pheasants.

To his horror, he finds Bland lying in wait with a shotgun.

But it seems they are not alone in the woods. Before Bland can fire, an arrow lands in his neck, shot by a stranger in the shadows.

Trapped in Cobb Wood with Bland’s corpse, Dan becomes the prime murder suspect.

On the run from the police and desperate to keep his freedom, Dan vows to find the true killer and prove his innocence…

Who else was lurking in Cobb Wood? Why was Edgar Bland a target?

And can Dan outrun the police long enough to uncover the truth…?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Banker cum Poacher uncovers a Major Crime
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Dan Mallett, banker manque but poacher par excellence to his mother’s disgust, is a delightful rascal whose adventures in the 1970s English countryside involve crime, without too many gory details, usually an accusation of guilt which he has to prove unjustified, and some glorious descriptions of nature in all its rural senses. One of his talents is finding hair-brained methods of getting out of trouble, only to land himself deeper in the mud. Another is charming the human birds who may dream of catching him but know they never will, although most survive as loyal friends and occasional bedfellows.
    Dan’s aim is to make enough money to fund his mother’s hip replacement operation privately because she flatly refuses to enter a public hospital. His bank, in a rabbit hole, is added to by selling the results of his poaching or petty thieving (only from folk he despises) to willing and trusted customers, and his old bike he replaces periodically with ‘borrowed’ vehicles, often with the owners never finding out. In this adventure a series of odd clues bring attention to a death at a local nursing home where inmates have equally odd bank account management events going on. It is all cleared up in the end but not without the occasional body and a very bumpy ride. Great fun and easy reading.
