Superstitious Death
Nicholas Rhea
The eccentric Detective Inspector Montague Pluke is preparing for the annual shoggling festival in the small Yorkshire town of Crickledale.
But he realises something terrible has happened when Mrs Cholmondeley’s bay tree withers and dies for no apparent reason.
His superstition is confirmed when he discovers the body of an attractive young woman in a shallow grave.
The woman’s head injury suggests she was murdered, but there is nothing to identify her, and no young women have been reported missing.
All Pluke has to go on is the fact that she was buried with a mirror and the pathologist’s declaration that she was a virgin.
The 80-year-old farmer Mr Burholme is quick to deny his involvement – but is it more than co-incidence the woman was discovered on his land?
Enlisting the help of his trusted sidekick Wayne Wain, Pluke embarks on a light-hearted mission to find the truth – and all in time before his wife’s cooked dinner goes cold.
