Blood in Grandpont

**MEET DETECTIVE SUSAN HOLDEN. SOLVING CRIMES IN THE OXFORD MOST PEOPLE NEVER SEE**
A PACEY WHODUNIT WHICH WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING UNTIL THE VERY LAST PAGE.
**A woman is stabbed to death in an Oxford car park.** A revealing photograph on her mobile phone points towards a crime of sexual passion or revenge.
But as Detective Holden and her team investigate further, it seems that things might not be as clear-cut as they first appeared.
**Then another body is found in the middle-class area of Oxford known as Grandpont, adding a whole new dimension to the case.**
Now, as the complications pile up in Holden’s professional and personal life, **finding the killer becomes more than a matter of life and death…**
**THE DETECTIVE**
DI Susan Holden is a police detective with anger management issues, a demanding mother and a searing determination to get to crack any case that comes her way in Oxford. She lives in an unprepossessing Victorian terrace, drinks too much Chardonnay and falls out with colleagues, witnesses and almost anyone who crosses her path.
**THE SETTING**
Her Oxford is a place where old ladies live in fear of lycra-clad cyclists, where you’re more likely to tread in a dog turd than nick a professor, and where mental health is a big an issue, but of less interest than Oxford United’s latest football game. It’s also a city where death comes with brutal finality – whether from the top of a grotty multi-storey car park, a careless care home and or on a dark wet night as Oxford’s adult learners wend their way home from their evening classes.
