A Helen Dexter mystery 5

The fifth in the page-turning cosy crime series from Glenda Young, this unputdownable whodunnit is perfect for fans of Julia Chapman’s Dales Detective Agency and Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club.
Eighties pop band The A64 are reuniting for the gig of a lifetime at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre, and Helen Dexter is overjoyed when they book into her Seaview Hotel.

However, as old tensions rise within the band, it’s clear each musician has something to hide. Why is lead singer Starr running away from her past? Why is Pete the drummer secretive about where he’s been for the last forty years? And when guitarist Dave breaks his legs in a freak window-cleaning accident, a new guitarist arrives, causing even more discord for all. Then, as the band rehearse for their comeback gig, a dead body is found.

Can Seaview Hotel landlady Helen Dexter and her rescue greyhound Suki hit the right note and solve the crime?
