Death and the Lazy Milkmaid - Tony Brennan
- Bexford North, Sydney: Winter 1944
Jean Harris, the pretty Land Army Girl from Kelly’s dairy, was enjoying the war. She threw many of the Bexford North men – young and old – into a frenzy of excitement. So when Jean is found brutally murdered, Inspector Bob Peters and his team are not short of local suspects. But their enquiries expand when the murder victim is revealed to be a pivotal figure in criminal war-time activities.
The blackmailing exploits of a precocious and unpleasant child of eleven distract police and hamper their work still further. Annie Watson is determined not to get involved. But then another murder – and a conspiracy to assassinate her daughter’s husband – draw her into the far-reaching investigation. Is it too late to reveal what she knows?
