Dig For Murder: a Ramston murder mystery

by Roger Keevil

An archaeological site next to a farm - five skeletons so far - plus one very dead lead archaeologist! And what's worse, he's the farm owner's ex-husband. Has Malcolm Sutherland's history caught up with him?

With farm staff, a local history buff, and a diverse group from Camford University in the mix, there are plenty of motives for murder. But where do the alpacas fit in? And can Ramston librarian Tania Faye and her husband Ron unravel the clues to unearth the truth?

About the author

Roger Keevil was born and educated in Southampton, U.K. Having moved to Spain in 2006, he devised and began to write a series of light-hearted short stories featuring his detectives, Inspector Andy Constable and Sergeant Dave Copper, eventually deciding to develop one of his stories into his first full-length novel, 'Feted to Die' (later re-titled 'Murderer's Fete'). Returning to the U.K. in 2009, he published the second Inspector Constable mystery, 'Juan Foot In The Grave' (later re-titled 'Murder Unearthed') in 2012, and in 2013 he launched Inspector Constable's third investigation - 'Death Sails In The Sunset' - set aboard a cruise ship. He published the fourth book, three short stories under the title 'Murder Comes To Call', in 2014 and followed this in 2015 with three further short stories in 'Murder Most Frequent'. The sixth Inspector Constable novel, a full-length investigation entitled 'The Odds On Murder', appeared in January 2016, followed by 'The Murder Cabinet' in January 2017. The next novel, 'The Game Of Murder', launched in January 2018, and then came 'No Bar To Murder', published in January 2019.

In October 2019 Roger published 'Honeymooner's Murder', the first in a new series of novels - The Copper & Co Murder Mysteries - following the further cases of some of the favourite characters from the Inspector Constable stories. The second novel, 'Murder at Witch's Holt', appeared in May 2020.

Roger was delighted to be invited by the BBC to be part of the panel of sleuths on their exciting new whodunnit game show 'Armchair Detectives' in 2017.
