Genre: Fiction > Mystery, Thriller
Death in Little Venice (Marnie Walker #2):
A winter’s afternoon on a deserted stretch of canal in Regent’s park, and the discovery of a body under the ‘blow-up’ bridge, the body of a famous MP. A nasty shock for Marnie Walker, but more surprises lie in wait for her. Why do the police try to link her with the murder victim? Who is going to great lengths to try to eliminate her? Why should anyone want to destroy her if she really knows nothing?
Marnie finds herself pursued by unseen predators, who seem to know her every move, read her every thought. Out of her depth in a world of political intrigue and treachery, she is thrown together with the dead man’s best friend, ally and fellow MP in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery. But the police appear to regard them both as suspects, despite every effort they make to clear their names. Neither Marnie’s guile, nor the MP’s connections can shake off their pursuers on both sides of the law.
In the heart of London’s Little Venice, in the idyllic setting of her canalside Northamptonshire home and in the corridors of power at Westminster, there seems to be no escape. Sooner or later someone else could become a second victim, and the pursuers have Marnie firmly in their sights.
Kiss and Tell (Marnie Walker #3):
Marnie Walker has a successful and growing business, a home in idyllic surroundings and a boat on the Grand Union Canal, sharing all these with Ralph her lover and Anne her closest friend. Life does not get much better than hers, until one day a stranger arrives on the scene, a fugitive with a shameful past, hounded by the media, accused of hypocrisy and depravity. But is he as guilty as everyone believes? If so, why does Marnie feel drawn to help him?
Keeping barely a step ahead of their pursuers, they try desperately to fight back, from rural Northamptonshire to London’s Docklands and Little Venice. The situation becomes more desperate and heartbreaking at every turn as the strain takes its toll. How can anyone stand up to the power of the press? It seems a hopeless cause, but Marnie is not one to back down from a challenge.
In the midst of this conflict other hazards emerge. A violent mugger is on the loose in their community. Marnie’s ex-husband comes back into her life. The complications pile up, and no one can escape the tragic consequences that threaten to blow Marnie’s world apart.
And nothing is quite what it seems ...
Sally Ann's Summer (Marnie Walker #4):
Here is where the story begins.
Marnie Walker had no desire to get involved with an ageing narrowboat. With a failed marriage behind her and no satisfactory relationship in prospect, she had thrown herself into her work. But even there she was beginning to feel stale. So when her sister burdened her with the chore of looking after Sally Ann while she and her husband went away for a year, Marnie was less than enthusiastic.
She soon discovered that there was much more to taking care of a canal boat than she had ever imagined. At first she resented it for placing so many demands on her time, but gradually the encounter with Sally Ann became a turning point in her life.
What Marnie failed to realise was that there were sinister undercurrents at work below the surface of the calm waters of Little Venice. A gangland power struggle had broken out in this quiet corner of London. To make matters worse, the hunt was on for undefined valuables. Some people – who lurked in the shadows – were prepared to stop at nothing to get their hands on them and unbeknown to her, they had identified Marnie as the key to finding them.
Taking off for the summer, Marnie embarked on her travels blissfully ignorant of the malevolent forces following in her wake. The journey, with its strange encounters, its triumphs and disasters, its humour and its pathos would change her life forever. And this is where her new life begins.
Devil in the Detail (Marnie Walker #5):
It was going to be a long hot summer …
And it all started so well for Marnie Walker at her beautiful canalside home, with a growing business, a settled relationship with Ralph and the company of her close friend and colleague, Anne with an ‘e’. There would be outings on her narrowboat, Sally Ann. She would be helping a summer playscheme for local children. There was even the offer of an exciting new project in Italy. A golden summer full of promise stretched ahead.
But would that promise be fulfilled? Change is in the air. Disturbing forces are on the move, bringing mayhem to the streets of neighbouring cities and threatening the community. A new colleague comes to join the firm to handle the Italian job, with a handsome lover in tow. A charismatic politician arrives in the area, whipping up uncomfortable feelings and prejudices. The long hot summer becomes explosive.
In the middle of all this, a strange boat arrives, unlike any they have seen before. It soon becomes clear that its owner has a mysterious and possibly sinister past, and they begin to wonder if he is involved in the troubles erupting around them.
Riots, bombings, street battles and inexplicable murders follow each other in rapid succession to make this a long hot summer that Marnie and her friends will never forget. Especially Anne.
And as usual the questions that have been hanging over them all are not finally resolved until the last page.
No Secrets (Marnie Walker #6):
For Marnie Walker it began as nothing more than a business deal, an interesting project, the refurbishment of an attractive Georgian house, a former vicarage. But the sudden death of one of the owners changes everything.
Gradually, and against her better judgment, she becomes drawn into an involvement with the convicted murderer and a campaign to free him that included the most unlikely protagonist.
The campaign also leads Marnie into a world of infidelity, sexual betrayal and mortal danger. Strangest of all, for a while the victim comes back into her life in a most unexpected way, and Marnie finds herself surrounded by suspects.
Not surprisingly, one of them wants Marnie dead and will stop at nothing to silence her.
From the charming Grand Union Canal to picturesque Little Venice and to London’s stylish Docklands area, the story unfolds in a series of twists and turns, where no-one can be presumed innocent and where the clues are provided by the victim herself.
But the biggest surprise is the last one…
Smoke and Mirrors (Marnie Walker #7):
It began as a simple process, the relocation of an ancient burial into the village churchyard. An injustice was being righted after 350 years...
But everything changes with the discovery of human remains on top of the earlier coffin. Whose body is it? How long has it been in the ground? Who put it there? For Marnie Walker this is all a mystery, but essentially someone else’s problem. Against her will and her better judgement she becomes drawn into the investigation at a time when the authorities begin taking steps to conceal the truth.
Meanwhile a major archaeological dig raises uncomfortable issues relating to witchcraft in and around the supposedly idyllic village where Marnie lives. And when bodies are found in shallow graves close to her canal-side home, the police demand answers to some tough questions.
With the arrival in the area of a bizarre boat and its strange owner, matters start to get out of hand. Conflicts ancient and modern clash and Marnie runs into problems of her own making that have the potential to ruin an important part of her life forever.
The final twists reveal that there are more secrets surrounding Marnie and those close to her than she or they had ever imagined. Once again in her life, nothing is quite what it seems…
Gifthorse (Marnie Walker #8):
A bleak mid-winter has settled over the land, bringing hardship to the quiet canalside community of Knightly St John. It also brings some unexpected visitors. They include a secretive stranger with a mysterious past and a gifted boy, two outsiders from very different backgrounds, both of them arriving on the doorstep of Marnie Walker.
What bonds link the man and the boy? Why is one pursued and the other rejected?
Despite Marnie’s desire not to become involved in other people’s lives, she is inescapably drawn in by a sequence of events beyond her control.
When tragedy strikes, Marnie is startled to find herself arrested for murder. Even the police have doubts about her involvement in the crime, but all the evidence suggests otherwise, and proving her innocence is virtually impossible.
This time, for Marnie Walker there is no way out.
