A British crime novelist and journalist. She is the author of three murder mystery series,featuring the fictional characters of Den Cooper,a Devon police detective, Drew Slocombe, a former nurse,now an undertaker,Thea Osborne,a house sitter in the Cotswolds,and Persimmon Brown,a florist in the Lake District.Tope is also ghost writer of the novels based on the ITV series Rosemary and Thyme.
When irascible farmer Guy Beardon meets a very dirty death in his own farmyard,it seems like an accident at first,despite the fact that he was widely disliked.But when his daughter Lilah slowly begins to suspect foul play,no one is eager to help her investigation.Suspicion becomes certainty when two more deaths occur,both of which are unmistakably murder.The difficulty lies in discovering who among the farmer's many enemies hated him enough to want him dead and then went on killing to conceal the truth.Could it be the disagreeable vicar? The self-absorbed widow? The crusty Wing Commander? The too-good-to-be-true freelance computer whiz? No one wants to get involved,and even the ubiquitous village gossip seems to know more than she will admit.Set amidst the muck and mayhem
of contemporary farming life,'A Dirty Death' is an entertaining and authentic crime debut.
