Thirsty Evil by Gerald Verner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1936 in Bishop's Thatcham, is the home of novelist Peter Chard. A place of gossip, envy and hatred, but can this result in death, or murder. When the murder occurs there are an abundance of suspects, but what motive.
An entertaining well-written historical mystery, a good start to the series, though I did think the answer was obvious.
