Major Johnson has served in the army faithfully and now, in retirement, he sets about village life in the same way. But beneath the surface of a quiet village, the paths of thieves and lovers,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This was my first book by this author, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I have to say, I really enjoyed it!Major Johnson is settling in to a quiet retirement, making friends, working at the local stately home, taking a cooking class. Then he becomes the main suspect in the hit and run death of a little girl. Although the reader knows who committed the crime, the suspense comes in waiting to see if the major will be cleared before he is completely ostracized. I was really drawn into the story and the characters are well-drawn and believable.My only complaint is the ending. I realize that it is quite in keeping with the story, but I was hoping for things to work out differently.CMB
