The Glorious Twelfth! Three shots fired. Five bodies found! It’s the annual grouse shoot at Thornehurst Grange and Penny, along with her little dog Fischer, takes her annual walk to protest at the gate. Hers is a silent demonstration, but this year the crowd is bigger than ever and, unusually, made up of two distinct factions.
When the underlying tension magnifies, Penny decides to leave before she’s embroiled in a riot, but she’s not gone far when a smoke bomb is thrown. Fischer slips his lead and when the thick fog clears, he’s guarding a body. Penny subsequently discovers several people who had cause to hurt the victim, but if she doesn’t solve the case quickly, then one young life will be ruined forever. Driven to Death is Book 5 in the cozy mystery series featuring mobile librarian Penny Finch and her rescue pup Fischer. Follow as they sniff out clues and dig up red herrings in the six villages and hamlets that make up Hampsworthy Downs.
