Hi all,

 

I've just submitted for proofing "Blood At The Bookies (Fethering Mystery
#9)" by Simon Brett.

 

It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, fonts adjusted.

350 pages.

 

Description:

The bets are on whodunnit when a body is found at the bookies .  .  .  Jude
has never been averse to a bit of a flutter; her friend Carole, on the other
hand, thinks that the local betting shop is a den of iniquity.  But when
Jude stumbles upon the body of Polish immigrant Tadeusz Jankowski - the race
is on to find his killer.  The odds aren't looking good.  No one seems to
know anything about the mysterious Tadek - even his sister can't shed any
light on what he was doing in Fethering.  Who was the anonymous woman in the
bookies who seems to have vanished? Why was Tadek interested in the local
university? And who is the 'Fifi' Tadek spoke of with his dying breath? As
they question the local residents, Carol finds an unexpected friend in an
inveterate gambler and Jude finds herself in potentially more trouble than
she can handle with a lecherous and charming drama professor.  In this race
there can only be one winner, but with no leads and several suspects in the
running will our lady detectives be pipped at the post by a cold and
calculating killer?

 

Deborah
