A Vicky Hill Mystery: Accused!

Vicky Hill #5

by Hannah Dennison

Murder is in the air when hedge-jumping champ Dave Randall accuses his arch enemy, Jack Webster, of sabotaging his dream to compete at the upcoming European Games.

Vicky is used to Dave's histrionics and she turns a blind eye. After all, she has bigger fish to fry-namely solving the mysterious death of worm charming diva Ruth Reeves, whose sudden inheritance has made her very unpopular with old friends and neighbours alike. But when Jack Webster ends up dead, too, there seems to be a strange connection between the pair and Dave becomes the prime suspect.


The perfect classic English village mystery but with the addition of charm, wit and a thoroughly modern touch. (Rhys Bowen)

Downton Abbey was yesterday. Murder at Honeychurch Hall lifts the lid on today's grand country estate in all its tarnished, scheming, inbred, deranged glory. (Catriona McPherson)

This book took me s little while to warm up to. So many characters to keep track of and the hedge-jumping as a sport angle. Weird. But once a couple of the characters got bumped off (less to keep track of LOL) I really got into the story. So much do that the last 45 minutes I spent sitting in my car, I just wanted to find out who did it. Sure hope there is more happening with Vicky in the future

Love the characters, the writing, the village drama! I laugh out loud at Vicky Hill books. Wish I didn’t just finish the last one. Way above the average cozy mystery. (I’m still smiling.)

I'm so glad Vicky Hill is back! I literally devoured this book in one day. Both Ruth Reeves and Jack Webster end up dead in this book. What is the connection? Vicki has to find a new place to live. What's a girl to do? She solves the crimes, and finds a great place to live. This is a great series and this book is a great addition to this series. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
