The second book in the Windelton trilogy is officially launched on 22 July 2016 and will be available in both Kindle and paperback formats from Amazon Kindle books.
The saga of England’s most absurd town continues…
The narrative picks up a year on from when The Windelton Absurdities ended:
Jasper Inchdale is attempting to pull his life, and his aristocratic family’s crumbling estate, back into shape. Tensions arise when an illegitimate son appears from his past bringing the family succession into question. Will he succeed in ousting his hopelessly inept, elder brother who is due to inherit the hall and estate?
Meanwhile, a chase is on to recover the stolen fortune of local brewery heiress, Marjorie Nelson. Can the urbane Alexander Haymarket uncover the lost funds or will Marjorie claim him first? The drama builds when the intrepid editor of the Windelton Bugle investigates the robbery and unearths more than anyone dared imagine.
Bizarrely, the Windelton council twins the town with a Bavarian counterpart. By a quirk of coincidence, the Bavarian council leader, a blue-blooded baron, holds the key to recovering the stolen money but his presence threatens to the lift the curtain on Windelton wartime secrets best left forgotten. A farcical sequence culminates events with shocking, and ultimately tragic consequences.
