Books with title Murder Is Easy

Luke Fitzwilliam does not believe Miss Pinkerton's wild allegation that a multiple murderer is at work in the quiet village of Wychwood and that her local doctor is next in line. But within hours, Miss Pinkerton has been killed in a hit-and-run car accident. Mere coincidence? Luke is inclined to think so - until he reads in THE TIMES of the unexpected demise of Wychwood's Dr Humbleby...

Wychwood-under-Ashe, hometown of retired policeman Luke Fitzwilliam, is a small village with a reputation for witchcraft and folklore. Fitzwilliam meets one of its residents on a train, on her way to tell Scotland Yard that someone is killing off the residents one by one. Before she can do so, she is killed by a hit and run driver; and Luke sets out on his own investigation. A stay in the village provides a bewildering cast of suspects, and with the help of Superintendent Battle, Fitzwilliam attempts to unmask the killer in this thrilling mystery.
