False Gold - Veronica Heley

nWhen the hunt for buried treasure at Marston Hall leads to murder, it falls on Bea Abbot to dig up the truth in this entertaining mystery. n nBea Abbot is visiting her old friend Sir Julian at Marston Hall, but her trip starts badly when she arrives to a scene of chaos. It seems that a group of youths armed with metal detectors broke into the derelict amusement park in the grounds of the Hall and fled when disturbed... leaving the body of a middle-aged man behind. The police and Sir Julian's estate manager assume this is a missing security guard, Pete, but Sir Julian has doubts. Is the dead man really Pete, and if not, then where is he and his border collie, Beauty? n nWith rumours of buried treasure and family curses circulating in the village, and with Sir Julian and Bruno the Alsatian at her side, Bea sets out to find the truth - and catch the killer. n nFans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton and Agatha Christie will love this page-turning mystery. nn
