Produktbeschreibung

A murder long buried. A play that won't stay silent

Twenty years ago, the first outdoor play at Briarley Estate ended in whispers, vanished actors, and a name the village never spoke again. Now, with roses blooming and rehearsals in full swing, the stage is set for a grand return.

But Annabel Lennox Deighton, literature professor turned reluctant sleuth, senses more than midsummer mischief. Newcomers with shadowy ties mingle uneasily with Little Firling locals, and a paper programme from 2003 resurfaces-bearing a name no one admits to remembering. When another disappearance rattles the cast, Annabel must follow the trail of half-truths, jealousies, and long-buried guilt to the orchard where it all began.

With her sharp eye, sharper wit, and the ever-watchful Persephone at her side, Annabel unravels a mystery where memory is unreliable, performance conceals betrayal, and the past insists on taking center stage.

Murder in the Open Air is the seventh novel in Belinda Chavremootoo's beloved Little Firling Mysteries-an atmospheric, character-driven series perfect for fans of classic village whodunits, layered secrets, and mysteries where the landscape itself remembers.

Autorenporträt

Belinda writes layered mysteries where memory lingers, landscapes remember, and silence speaks louder than words. Her stories slip between the literary and the intimate-part atmospheric suspense, part quiet reckoning. Rooted in a love for islands, history, and hidden truths, her work invites readers to linger in the in-between.She believes some lands carry echoes of everything they've witnessed-grief, joy, betrayal-and that nostalgia for a place is its own kind of story. She also writes heartfelt children's stories that whisper courage into quiet hearts. With magical ladybugs, story-saving oaks, and brave little girls like Maia, Belinda hopes to help young readers find their own voice-and use it boldly.When she's not writing, Belinda tends to her garden, guided by the rustle of leaves, the smell of earth, and the quiet company of two cats who always seem to know more than they let on.
