Murder in Moreton: An Eliza Thomson Investigates Murder Mystery

Product Information

During his trial, detectives described Mr Field to the court as a a psycopath who would have posed an “ongoing danger to society” if he wasn’t stopped. Although the book purports to be set in the nineteenth century, the style is somewhat muddled and oscillates between then and the present. Merseyside Police previously arrested three other men, aged 25, 44 and 52, who remain on conditional bail.

Merseyside Police is continuing to appeal for information in connection with the murder, which occurred at a property in Meadowbrook Road, Moreton, in the early hours of Sunday, October 30.

A man and woman have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a grandmother killed in her own home. Can she and her neighbour find out how the woman died and get the right person arrested before an innocent is sent to the gallows? Field denied murdering the author and University of Buckingham lecturer and maintained Mr Farquhar could have died from taking his usual dose of flurazepam and drinking whisky. But during his trial, he did admit to the fake relationships as being part of a plot to get their wills changed in his favour.

She bulldozers through the investigation with blunt questions, rather than discovering information through seemingly innocent conversation as Miss Marple would. Oxford Crown Court heard that Field moved into Mr Farquhar’s home in the village of Maids Moreton in 2014 and in March of that year they underwent a “betrothal” ceremony at a church. Police began working on the theory that both Peter and Ann may have been poisoned and they had a prime suspect in mind: 27-year-old Benjamin Field. In August 2016, Ben told Ann that his brother was seriously ill and that for him to continue his studies and living at Cambridge University he needed a dialysis machine.Over the course of their relationship, Ben manipulated Peter into changing his will to make him a beneficiary. I downloaded and read the first book of this series as part of a cozy mystery authors’ giveaway promotion. Less than two years later he was dead, murdered by Field after a campaign of psychological torture that aimed to convince Mr Farquhar he was losing his mind. Her husband taking on the doctors surgery, her working in the dispensary and the fact that their cottage is smaller than she's used too.
