But Chief Inspector Markby has a rather different view of his native area, as he witnesses the bulldozing of one of his favourite boyhood haunts to make way for yet another housing estate. And when a man's body is found buried in the foundations of one of the plots his outlook turns even grimmer. The only cheering prospect on the horizon is Meredith's forthcoming visit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dead man however remains a mystery: the labourer who dug up his body has disappeared and the farmers whose lands abut the burial site are little help. Charming, eccentric Mrs Carmody treats Markby, whom she has known since he was a boy, with fond familiarity and Mrs Winthrop at the neighbouring farm is happy to supply him with tea and scones but gives little else away. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe time has come for someone with a different perspective to see what they can glean. And Meredith, blessed with an uncanny ability for ferreting out the truth, seems the obvious candidate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying about \u003ci\u003eCold in the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'There are plenty of suspects in this \u003cb\u003ewell written murder mystery\u003c\/b\u003e and some \u003cb\u003einteresting historical background\u003c\/b\u003e as well'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A \u003cb\u003esplendid\u003c\/b\u003e story'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eAnn Granger\u003c\/b\u003e, as always, \u003cb\u003ebreathes life into her characters\u003c\/b\u003e and in this novel she also \u003cb\u003ecreates a threatening atmosphere\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56449747911030,"sku":"9780747238744","price":9.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_14134073_jpg.jpg?v=1760446632","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780747238744-cold-in-the-earth-mitchell-markby-3","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
