Robert Barnard
The Mistress of Alderley
Series: Crime / Mysteries
Actress Caroline Fawley is thoroughly enjoying life. Her wealthy lover, supermarket owner Marius Fleetwood, has set her and her children up in a grand house in the Yorkshire village of Marsham. Carolines frequent television work has made her relatively famous and she is something of a celebrity in the village - not to mention the romantic weekend visits from Marius, which provide something for the locals to gossip about. She is gradually becoming accepted in the village and has even agreed to host the annual fête. Her youngest children are both happy at their school, and her eldest daughter is about to take the starring role in Verdis La Forza del Destino at the Leeds Playhouse. Everything about her life seems perfect and she has taken to her new role at the mistress of Alderley with relish. But Carolines idyllic life is shattered when a young man looking remarkably like Marcus unexpectedly turns up on her doorstep. Within a few weeks Marius has gone missing and it isnt much longer before a body turns up...
