Libby Sarjeant #22
Murder After Midnight
'With fascinating characters and an intriguing plot, this is a real page turner' KATIE FFORDE
'Lesley Cookman is the Queen of Cosy Crime' PAUL MAGRS
A new year dawns over the sleepy coastal town of Heronsbourne and brings with it a brand-new case for amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant.
When a woman's body is found on the local golf course after an illicit New Year's party, news quickly spreads, and Libby finds herself being tracked down by locals desperate to share information about the victim, Jackie Stapleton.
But things are never that simple in Libby's world. Whilst everyone had an opinion on Jackie, it seems nobody really knew much about her. Libby's chum DCI Connell is being more tight-lipped than usual, and even with her friend Fran Wolfe's help, discovering a motive for the killing is frustratingly difficult.
Is the murder linked to some distinctly dodgy dealing, a dispute with the local golf club, or something far more sinister - a ghost from Libby's past?
Gripping and unputdownable, Murder After Midnight is the latest instalment in the much-loved Libby Sarjeant series by Lesley Cookman. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, J. R. Ellis and LJ Ross.

I do love this series but this one took a long time to get going. Certainly not the best one. Nevertheless I did enjoy it eventually.

Love the book and the series
I enjoy this series and this newest addition is excellent. I like how I get to know different people while a core crew is present in each book. What’s fun is that it is set in a village in GB and I love the day to day life there. Although there are murders certainly in each book, we don’t get all the gory details. We do get, however, unpleasantness in the back stories of the murders so it has a little bit of a gritty texture. I like that.
