A Dangerous Deceit by Marjorie Eccles

February, 1927. The remains of an unidentified middle-aged man are found beneath the snow in the grounds of Maxtead Court, home of the wealthy Scroope family. Meanwhile, Margaret Rees-Talbot is preparing for her wedding to the Rev Symon Scroope - to the disapproval of some residents of the small market town of Folbury, who think it's too soon after the death of Margaret's father Osbert, found drowned in his bath a few months previously. An accident - or was there more to it than that? Before he died, Osbert had been writing an account of his experiences as a soldier during the Second Boer War. But what really happened in South Africa back in 1902? Could there be a connection to his death? Then a second death occurs. And it becomes increasingly clear to the investigating DI Herbert Reardon that at least one Folbury resident has a shocking secret to hide.
Marjorie Eccles was born in Yorkshire, England and spent her childhood there and on the Northumbrian coast. She has written over a score of books, including the Gil Mayo mysteries which feature Superintendent Mayo and his assistant, Inspector Abigail Moon.
The series is set on the edge of the Black Country, where she lived for over thirty years. She is also a writer of short stories and her books have been translated into many languages and have been serialized in British and foreign magazines.
