Donald Langham and Maria Dupre must navigate a rocky road to find a killer when a body is found next to a standing stone.

Newlyweds Donald Langham and Maria Dupre have moved to the country. They're excited about starting a new life in the picturesque village of Ingoldby-over-Water - and about meeting their new neighbours.

But they've barely moved into Yew Tree Cottage when their new neighbour at Standing Stone Manor, Professor Edwin Robertshaw, invites Donald over to discuss some 'fishy business'. Shortly after, a body is found by the professor's precious standing stone in the manor grounds.

Donald and Maria discover tensions, disputes and resentment raging below the surface of this idyllic village, but can they find out which of the villagers is a cold-blooded killer?

Industry Reviews

Character-driven and filled with red herrings, a most enjoyable classic British read * Kirkus Reviews *

Clever plot twists spin the dramatic premise into a gripping tale. Agatha Christie fans will have fun * Publishers Weekly on Murder by Numbers *
A classic English mystery with plenty of unexpected plot twists * Kirkus Reviews on Murder by Numbers *
Another fine entry in a reliably entertaining series * Booklist on Murder Served Cold *
Appealing characters, lively dialogue, and some thought-provoking observations on post-WWII social changes in Britain * Publishers Weekly on Murder Served Cold *
