The Red Chairs Mystery

The Red Chairs Mystery is a new novel from former GP, hospital doctor and psychiatrist-turned mystery writer. L. D. Culliford. And he uses his experiences in these fields to craft a very satisfying mystery novel.

The discovery of two red leather armchairs on a renowned golf course in leafy Sussex is a noteworthy event in itself.

What made this event even more worthy of note is the fact that in one of the red leather armchairs there is the corpse of a woman.

Who is she? How did she die? What is the significance of the red leather armchairs and is the location of the corpse on the golf course of significance or not?

Detective Holly Angel is given the task of finding out the answers to all of these questions. And many more, besides.

The owner of the golf club, Jamie Royle seems to be a contender for the role of villain in the story, but as he is over in Chicago watching the 2012 Ryder Cup victory over the American team, who can possibly say?

Clues and evidence seem to be in short supply, that is until the perpetrator makes themselves known, again.

Who was the killer? What was Jimmie Royle's involvement in the case, if any? And what, exactly, was the case?

And there are some very interesting twists and turns before you reach the last page.

This is a very readable and enjoyable novel and is an introduction to a series of novels about Detective Holly Angel. Which mystery novel fans will wait for eagerly.

The book is published by Matador at £8.99. It will be an excellent gift for the mystery reader in your life, or a great present to yourself, if yo are that mystery buff.
