The Girl in the Case - Softcover

Lesley Grant-Adamson is rapidly turning the genre into an art form. -- "Cosmopolitan" Maddy Knewton thinks there is nowhere she'd rather be than her Cotswold village in spring. But then a woman's body is discovered and her cherished dream begins to dissolve. The stream of gossip that flows through the village touches the lives of Maddy and her lover, but never tells the whole truth. Was the woman's death a domestic murder? Is someone stalking Maddy? "The Girl in the Case" is a portrait of a village under pressure and a masterpiece of suspense.

Lesley Grant-Adamson was born in north London and spent much of her childhood in the Rhondda in south Wales. She worked on provincial newspapers before joining the staff of the Guardian in London as a feature writer, then worked as a freelance journalist and television writer before her first novel was published in 1985. She is married and lives in Islington, north London.
