The Cherry Pickers by Betty Rowlands

The Cherry Pickers by Betty Rowlands

The Cotswold village of Upper Benbury is buzzing with rumour and gossip. The body of a young gipsy girl has been found in a discarded freezer. A local newshound, hot on the trail of the story, persuades crime writer Melissa Craig to accompany him to the gipsy encampment. Then Melissa learns that members of the victim's family are planning their own brand of justice for the outsider who lured their girl away - and her determination to track down and warn the Romanys' intended victim lands her in grave danger, exposing dark secrets in unexpected places.

Praise for Betty Rowland's previous Melissa Craig mysteries:
'Full of sharp insights with an unexpected twist in the tail' - Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News
'A clearly gifted and knowledgeable writer, never less than engaging and readable' - Financial Times
'Gently old-fashioned whodunit, riddled with lurking anguish' - The Times
'All the best ingredients of English crime.. a novel of sharp insights' - Cotswold Life

Betty Rowlands burst on to the crime scene by winning the Sunday Express/Veuve Clicquot Crime Short Story of the Year Competition. Her success continued with her nine highly acclaimed Melissa Craig mysteries. She is an active member of the Crime Writers' Association and regularly gives talks and readings and serves on panels in crime writing conventions.
