A Dirty Death: Rebecca Tope

Den Cooper 1. Welcome to rural Devon - where life looks pretty as a postcard. But dark secrets lurk beneath the picturesque surface...Early one morning Lilah Beardon finds her father, local farmer Guy, floating in the muck of his own slurry pit. The police assume his death was a tragic accident. Lilah isn’t convinced. She knew her father better than anyone, and a clumsy accident like this doesn’t seem likely. Everyone else in the village hated crabby old Farmer Guy: his neglected wife Miranda, his downtrodden son Roddy, even the vicar disliked him. Which of his many enemies in this close-knit community wanted him dead? Working alongside handsome Detective Constable Den Cooper, Lilah is determined to uncover the truth. But someone in the village doesn’t appreciate her snooping. And then another body is discovered...
