Publisher's Summary

The mother of all murder mysteries...

There are just four days to Mother's Day and crime reporter Colin Crampton is under pressure to find a front-page story to fit the theme.

Then Colin and his feisty girlfriend Shirley Goldsmith stumble across a body late at night on a lonely country road. Colin scents a story when the cops dismiss the idea of murder.

Colin and Shirley flirt with danger as they investigate the killing. They take on a crazy hippie commune, an eccentric group of church bell-ringers, and a chemistry teacher with an unusual late-night hobby.

And that's before they tangle with the mothers...Colin’s landlady has been thrown out of the Mothers’ Union. And Shirley’s mum has gone missing in a town where a serial killer is on the prowl.

Join Colin and Shirley for a madcap Mother's Day mystery in Swinging Sixties England, where the laughs are never far from the action.
