    The tenth book in the Libby Sarjeant series of British murder mysteries which feature a retired actress as the female sleuth and are based in the picturesque village of Steeple Martin. Libby Sarjeant and her friend Fran Wolfe are asked to look into the sudden and unexplained death of a devoted churchgoer.

      I've read all Lesley Cookman's Libby Sarjeant series. They are excellent "cosy" mysteries. The main characters are very appealing and life-like. Libby isn't a super heroine. She's a slightly dumpy over-50 woman. She has a variety of close friends. The writing is light, humerous and based on the problems of life today. I feel really cosy with these characters.
