About Annie Dalton

Annie Dalton wrote her first novel at the kitchen table while her three children were at school. She is now the author of more than thirty books for children, including her internationally bestselling Agent Angel series, and has twice been shortlisted for the Carnegie medal. Annie once worked as a writer in residence in one of HM's prisons where she helped inmates to devise, write and perform a musical based on their own lives. She lives in Norfolk with her dog Riley in a cottage with a ruined castle at the bottom of her garden. Since Annie and her daughter Maria both love murder mysteries, they decided to write one together set in Oxford, their favourite city, about three women who discover a dead body while they're out dog walking.

( 1,671 )

₹ 299.00

A COZY BRITISH MURDER MYSTERY SET IN OXFORD.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A great read! Oxford, dogs, strong women, good writing, intriguing mysteries — what more could I ask for?” Mary F.B.

Originally published as Written in Red.

_______________________

It’s winter at the beautiful, historic Oxford college of Walsingham. But instead of enjoying the seasonal cheer, lovely old Professor Lowell is beaten to a pulp in his study.

Dog-lover and reluctant sleuth Anna Hopkins works at the college. She can’t understand why anyone would want to kill the kind and gentle scholar.

It turns out that Anna’s friend and fellow dog walker, Isadora Salzman, was a student with Lowell in the 1960s. Isadora and Lowell were both members of the secret group known as the Oxford Six.

One by one, the surviving members are targeted. And Isadora is next on the list.

In the depths of midwinter, long buried secrets will come to light. Can the Oxford dog walkers protect their friend and bring a murderer to justice?

This richly woven murder mystery is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Clare Chase, Jeanne M. Dams, Frances Evesham, Jane Adams, Simon Brett, Frances Lloyd, Verity Bright, Lis Howell and Faith Martin.

Anna Hopkins is on her daily walk through Oxford’s picturesque Port Meadow when her white German Shepherd rescue dog, Bonnie, finds a blood-soaked body in the undergrowth.

The women don’t know each other, but the tragic discovery brings them together. When the police fail to make progress with their investigation, the dog walkers vow to find out who killed Naomi.

With two mysteries to solve, will the dog walkers’ investigations put them all in danger?

_______________________

The Oxford dog walkers return in this captivating murder mystery.

Anna, Isadora and Tansy, dog walkers and part-time sleuths, go to a World War II-themed murder mystery weekend at the ramshackle Mortmead Hall. But the murder becomes all too real . . .

It’s the morning after the ball and the dog walkers are sitting down for breakfast when they hear a harrowing scream.

They discover a woman’s lifeless body floating in the fountain. Her red silk dress darkened almost to black.

She wasn’t meant to be there. She didn’t even have a ticket. Who was she?

As the dog walkers delve deeper, they find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue that puts them on the trail of a lost painting and a devastating wartime secret. A secret that will change Anna’s life and make her question everything she thought she knew about her family.

This richly woven murder mystery is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Clare Chase, Jeanne M. Dams, Frances Evesham, Jane Adams, Simon Brett, Verity Bright, Lis Howell and Faith Martin.
