Sinopse

In the early 1980s, Libyan forces crossed the border into Chad to help one side in the civil war raging in the country. France, the former colonial power in Chad, moved to thwart that alliance and the United States, alarmed to see Libya, a Soviet client, threatening to control more of the African continent, had its own interest in blocking the Libyans. “Out of Season” is a fictional account of the three-way interplay among the intelligence services but includes many real facts and events of that period. The novel also looks at the legacy of colonialism and its corrosive effects on the native populations; the relative power of beliefs; and how seemingly small choices made in anger can have life-altering consequences.

    🏡 Tea shop owner Violet Brewster adores her picture-perfect English village of Honeycroft, where everyone knows each other and life moves at a gentle pace. But when the village's beloved mayor is found dead in the prize-winning rose garden during the annual Spring Fete, the peaceful facade shatters. The police call it a tragic accident, but Violet notices the carefully planted clues that suggest otherwise—a misplaced gardening glove, a broken teacup, and a cryptic note pinned to the village notice board. As old grudges surface and long-buried secrets bloom like spring flowers, Violet teams up with the village's retired Scotland Yard inspector and her gossipy book club to investigate. From competing jam recipes to disputed property lines, every quaint village tradition hides a potential motive. But as Violet digs deeper into the community's carefully tended soil, she uncovers a root system of resentment that runs generations deep—and a killer who's been waiting decades to settle a score.

    A corpse in the fireplace of an old house. It's been there for thirty years, but who is it? 
     
     
     
    It's clearly murder, and what connection does the body have to the previous owners of the house? 
     
     
     
    It was bound to be discovered eventually but was that what the murderer wanted? 
     
     
     
    The main suspects are all old and dying, or already dead. There's a motive, but what is it? 
     
     
     
    Isaac Cook and his team have their work cut out trying to put the pieces together. Those who know are not talking out of an old-fashioned belief that a family's dirty laundry is not to be aired in public, and certainly not to a policeman—even if that means the murderer is never brought to justice!
