However injured his body may be, his mind is as active as ever. Too active, perhaps. When he glimpses a shadowy figure from his bedroom window struggling with a heavy load, the tranquil façade of the village begins to loom sinister...<br /> Unable to forget the incident, Robert confides in his childhood friend, Miss Lucy Harrington. As the dutiful daughter of the widowed rector, following up on the major's suspicions offers a welcome diversion—but soon presents real danger. Someone is intent on stopping their investigation. And in a place where no one locks their doors, a series of thefts and the disappearance of two young serving girls demands explanation...</p> <p><br /> As Robert grapples with his difficult recovery, he and Lucy try to unearth the dark truth lurking within the village shadows, and stop a killer waiting to strike again...</p><b>Praise for <i>Death Comes to the Village</i></b><br /> <b>"[A] delightful debut...Readers will hope death returns soon to Kurland St. Mary."—<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)<br /> "Lloyd combines a satisfying mystery with plenty of wit and character development."—<i>Booklist</i></b>.
