Mitchell & Markby 6

This book is the sixth in the Mitchell and Markby series, and the series just seems to keep getting better. These are true English village mysteries with colourful casts of characters, deft plotting and a tricky little mystery to figure out. In this book a young girl's body is found lying in a ditch and Markby has to figure out what happened. We have Meredith Mitchell now living in Bamford, so that puts her right in the thick of things. When she befriends a troubled teenage girl, she doesn't realize that it puts her right in the middle of a murder investigation. She works with Inspector Markby to try to bring a killer to justice. This is really a delightful pair of sleuths, and I am really enjoying this series. ( )
