very witty mystery fiction

Beschreibung

More side-splitting amateur sleuthing in Oxford... Private eye Edie Fox wishes she could be half as glamorous and successful as her new client, Jessica Relish, who comes into her floundering detective agency in search of her missing husband Hugh. However, what starts off as a missing person case quickly takes a turn for the worse. When the handsome, charming, and much younger Hugh turns up dead in a wood, murdered, Edie is determined to discover who had it in for him. As the hunt to discover the truth begins and the list of suspects grows, Edie juggles work, chaotic home renovations, trying friendships, and a new relationship. Can Edie fight her self-destructive impulses and find the peace of mind to see the wood for the trees? Or will the killer benefit from all her distractions and get off scot-free? THE RUNAWAY HUSBAND is the second book in a series of hilarious cozy mysteries by bestselling author Julie Highmore. Look out for the first, THE MISSING AMERICAN, and the third, THE GHOSTWRITER'S STUDY, also FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback from Amazon. These standalone mysteries are perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Jesse Sutanto, Rachel Ward, and T E Kinsey!

Autor

After having her three children, Julie became a mature student at first Westminster College, then Oxford Brookes University, where she gained a degree in English. As part of the course, she studied creative writing with Philip Pullman, who encouraged her to continue with her writing after graduation. This she did, and her published work includes nine rom-com novels, and more recently, a crime fiction series for The Book Folks. The Missing American - the first in the series - features the somewhat flawed, Oxford-based private investigator, Edie Fox; a single mother and very young grandmother who inadvertently gets her precious family caught up in her first big case. Although her recent novels have ventured into some dark places, Julie manages to inject humour into the stories without diminishing the danger of situations Edie finds herself in.Between graduating and becoming a published author, Julie taught English as a foreign language, and for several years was a reader for Oxford University Press's Children's Books.She enjoys music, binge-watching a good TV series, country strolls, doing the New York Times crossword, and hanging out with her husband and ever-expanding family. With two Edie books now in production and a third following in Spring 2023, Julie is hoping to continue with the series while also exploring other crime-fiction paths.
