The Wickenham Murders

Amy Myers

2004

A Marsh and Daughter novel.

"Fingerprints left on Time. This is the premise on which Peter Marsh – a former policeman invalided out of the force – and his daughter, Georgia, base their investigations into unsolved past murders. In 1929, in the village of Wickenham, Kent, Davy Todd was charged with murdering Amy Proctor, middle-aged daughter of the local doctor. As Marsh & Daughter begin their investigations, a skeleton is found in the woods of Wickenham Manor Hotel. Two seemingly unconnected events – yet Georgia and her father feel intuitively that there must be a link, and together, they set out to find it."

Murder in Friday Street

Amy Myers

2005

A Marsh and Daughter novel.

"When young Alice Winters is found dead close to a ruined medieval tower just outside the remote village of Friday Street, her boyfriend Jake is charged with murder. That evening the haunting melody is heard, which, according to village tradition, is played whenever there has been a miscarriage of justice. The case arouses the interest of Peter and Georgia Marsh, the father and daughter team who specialize in cases where the past has reached out to touch the present. And Friday Street was also the scene of a notorious tragedy in 1968, when the famous rock singer Fanny Star returned to the village of her birth only to be murdered. Had the tune been heard then too? Was her singing partner, Adam Jones, wrongly convicted? Peter and Georgia set out to discover the secrets of Friday Street – but their first obstacle is to break the silence of the village, anxious to protect its own."

Murder in Abbot's Folly

Amy Myers

2011

A Marsh and Daughter novel.

"Father and daughter investigators, Peter and Georgia Marsh, are looking forward to attending a Jane Austen-themed summer gala at Stourdens. It’s said that the eighteenth-century country manor in Kent was the author’s inspiration for her unfinished novel, The Watsons. It’s here that a collection of Austen’s never-before-published letters of a mysterious love affair are locked away. And most intriguing to Peter and Georgia, Stourdens is also the site of an unsolved murder, cold for nearly three decades. As the event unfolds—and tourists and literary groupies swarm—tensions begin to stir among the mansion’s volatile family. When another murder occurs on the grounds, the Marshes are compelled to investigate. That means unearthing the secrets of both the past and the present that someone will kill again to protect. Including those of a young woman whose heart was broken more than a hundred years ago."
