Marcia Beasley of St John’s Wood is found in her home naked, shot in the head and covered with a coal scuttle. Detective Sergeant Greenleaf is tasked with unraveling the layers of Marcia’s life to bring meaning to her gruesome death.
While the Police investigation plods on, Marcia’s niece Rosy finds herself unwittingly drawn into a family mystery involving espionage and foreign intrigue. Will she establish the involvement of the abrasive Miss Collinger and will Miss Burkiss ever yield her keys to the broom cupboard?

SUZETTE HILL is a graduate of both Nottingham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne University. For many years she taught English Literature at Reading College until her retirement. Her first novel A Load of Old Bones was self-published in 2005, and Constable published a further four books in the same series.
"This delightful dark comedy is set in a London that is recovering after the Second World War... Wittily and fluently written, with a neat plot that twists and turns to a satisfying conclusion, A Little Murder is a fine entertainment." (Historical Novels Review)
"Set in the early 1950’s, this is a delightful romp, as Rosy is pulled form her quiet ordered existence into the murky world it appeared that her aunt had inhabited. A further death has everyone twitchy and looking over their shoulder’s, particularly those who have been indulging in a little wickedness! Highly recommended." (Lizzie Hayes Promoting Crime Fiction)
