Death by the Book

By: Julianna Deering

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When the village of Farthering St. John is stunned by a series of murders, Drew Farthering is drawn again into the sleuthing game.

Drew Farthering wanted nothing more than to end the summer of 1932 with the announcement of his engagement. Instead, he finds himself caught up in another mysterious case when the family solicitor is found murdered, an antique hatpin with a cryptic message, Advice to Jack, piercing his chest.

Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl's tearful confession point to the victim's double life, but what does the solicitor's murder have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf course? Nothing, it would seem--except for another puzzling note, affixed with a similar-looking bloodied hatpin.

Soon the police make an arrest in connection with the murders, but Drew isn't at all certain they have the right suspect in custody. And why does his investigation seem to be drawing him closer and closer to home?


“Drew is an easy man to fall in love with. Ms. Deering has written a complicated, convoluted mystery which will leave the reader guessing at every turn.” –Fresh Fiction

"Fans of Agatha Christie need to make room on their bookshelves for the Drew Farthering Mystery series. Even as readers are kept on their toes trying to figure out 'whodunit' and may be shocked at who dies next, a message of hope weaves throughout the story." --RT Magazine
