Oxford Raven: For Cosy Crime Fans (HarperCollins Noir) (French Edition)

Oxford, 1960. When Sir Marcus Deering, a wealthy industrialist in the region, receives several anonymous threatening letters, he decides not to worry about them. However, a murder is soon committed, and the best elements of the Oxford police force are mobilized. The very young policewoman Trudy Loveday would love to participate in such an important case, but her superiors quickly put an end to her ambitions. Excluded from the investigation and tasked with assisting the brilliant but rather unpleasant Dr. Clement Ryder, the forensic pathologist, on a closed case, she nevertheless finds herself at the heart of a mystery that could well lead her on the trail of the mysterious raven of Oxford.

About the author: Faith Martin, also known by her real name, Jacquie Walton, is the author of many successful crime novels. Born in Oxford and in love with the English countryside, she sets many of her novels in the bucolic setting of the Oxfordshire region.

The resulting text is approximately 500 words in length, with a clear and concise flow that should enhance the reader's enjoyment of the story.
