A wedding in the Cotswolds, a college reunion and a murder beneath Oxford's dreaming spires. Sounds like a case for Miss Clara Vale!
May Day, 1931. Miss Clara is looking forward to a respite from detective work as she attends her brother's wedding in the Cotswolds before returning to Oxford for Somerville College's ten-year reunion. But when Clara and her mother discover the body of a young research student at the ancient Rollright Stones, their celebrations are abruptly cut short.
The victim appears to have been sacrificed as part of a Beltane fertility ritual dedicated to the mysterious Celtic goddess Cuda so Clara calls on her indomitable assistant Bella who is in town for a romantic weekend with an archaeologist. Together with determined WPC Rosie Winter, they begin to untangle a web of academic rivalries, dangerous political extremism and long-buried secrets.
As the investigation draws Clara into the shadowy world of Celtic mythology she must separate ancient legend from modern murder before the May Day festivities claim another victim.
Perfect for fans of Helena Dixon, Agatha Christie, Verity Bright and classic Golden Age mysteries.
