'Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers' Daily Mail A pawn-shop robbery It's no rest for the wicked as Kate Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But exposing the culprit of a pawn-shop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind. A fatal stabbing A night at the theatre should have been just what the doctor ordered, until Kate stumbles across a body in the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely suggests a killer in the theatre's midst. A ransom demand Kate likes nothing better than solving mysteries. So when a ransom note demands 1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, the refined streets of Harrogate play host to Kate's skills in piecing together clues - and luring criminals out of their lairs . . . ***A Medal For Murder is the second Kate Shackleton novel, revamped with a brand-new look. More reissues in the series coming soon.*** What readers are saying: 'I enjoyed book two as much as book one and now reading book three. That says it all' ***** 'Highly enjoyable and ideal for cosy mystery readers' ***** 'Best book in the Kate Shackleton series so far' ***** 'An excellent story well paced that keeps the reader turning pages.
