Why Did She Die?

Lady Lupin, the ditzy but always kind young wife to the vicar of Glanville, Sussex, runs into what appears to be murder most foul while trying to help out a young married couple. Set just after World War II, this book was first published in England in 1947 and the third in the Lady Lupin series. When Lady Lupin and her husband meet Penelope Stevenson and her brother and sister-in-law Dick and Betty, they feel they have lucked into a generous and virtuous friendship. But nothing is as it appears to be, and just as Lady Lupin and her husband begin to see the darker sides of the attachment, Penelope is shot in the garden. With a pile of possible motives, multiple people confessing to the murder, and the prime suspect suspiciously absent, Lady Lupin must unravel the social Gordian knot of scandal and personality to uncover the killer. Told in Coggin‘s signature light and humorous style, this is a mystery which will keep you guessing until the very end. Lady Lupin Mysteries from Galileo Publishers: Who Killed the Curate?
