Synopsis

'Radley is a Rendell bridesmaid.' OXFORD TIMES 'Excellent dialogue' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Lewis Glaven, the owner of the Chalcot estate, had arranged the pheasant shoot to introduce his son Will's shy fiancee to country house living. Hope Meynell was lovely, but most unsuitable for Chalcot, and Lewis was not the only one who disapproved of the engagement. Spectators, including Hope, waited with revulsion for the slaughter to begin. Then, as Animal Rights protesters tried to put a stop to it, a tragic accident occurred. But when Detective Chief Inspector Douglas Quantrill took charge of the investigation, it became apparent that a murder had taken place.

About this title

About the Author

Sheila Radley is the pseudonym of Sheila Robinson, who was born and brought up in rural Northamptonshire, one of the fortunate means-tested generation whose further education was free. She went from her village school via high school to London University, where she read history.

She served for nine years as an education officer in the Women's Royal Air Force, then worked variously as a teacher, a clerk in a shoe factory, a civil servant and in advertising. In the 1960s she opted out of conventional work and joined her partner in running a Norfolk village store and post office, where she began writing fiction in her spare time. Her first books, written as Hester Rowan, were three romantic novels; she then took to crime, and wrote 10 crime novels as Sheila Radley.
