E. X. Ferrars

When an old colleague complains of disappearing neighbors, a retired professor of botany starts digging for clues in this delightful cozy mystery.

Andrew Basnett may be retired from academia, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped his former colleagues from dumping problems in his lap. This time around it’s peppery Constance Camm, whose neighbors keep disappearing. Miss Camm and her sister, Mollie, would probably shrug it off if not for a frightening letter that reads “I know where you buried the body.”

But . . . to which disappeared neighbor does the letter refer? And why was it sent to Mollie, who hasn’t buried anything? Spurred by a desire to help a friend, Professor Basnett starts poking around. But his efforts uncover more than one village skeleton, and they may call up more than anyone has bargained for.

Andrew Basnett

The Other Devil's Name

A retired professor finds that an amateur sleuth’s work is never done, even on an Australian holiday in this cozy mystery with “a dandy plot” (Publishers Weekly).

 Andrew Basnett takes a break from his little English village to spend Christmas in the small Australia city of Adelaide. Visiting Tony, an old colleague with a newish wife, Basnett soon learns that a cloud hangs over the marriage. Jan, Tony’s bride, is widely believed to have murdered her first husband—a fact that is giving Tony second thoughts.

 Things don’t get any more comfortable when, at a family dinner, one of the guests is killed with a chunk of the same crystal that had been Jan’s alleged murder weapon. And Jan herself has disappeared. Now it’s up to Professor Basnett to make the truth crystal clear.
