Murder Takes the Stage (Hardcover, World ed.)

This is a new investigation for family duo Peter and Georgia Marsh. Peter and Georgia Marsh are in the Kentish seaside resort of Broadgate, on the trail of Georgia's missing brother Rick when they come across the strange tale of a haunted fish and chip shop. Tom, the 'ghost', was one of three Jumping Joeys, a clown trio who worked on the pier in the 1950s. Tom was accused of the murder of his beautiful wife and seemingly committed suicide, though his sweetheart, now 76 years old, has never given up hope of finding him again. What Peter and Georgia begin to uncover is an intrigue of murder, missing persons, lost loves, careers cut tragically short and a wall of silence. They pursue both mysteries but the journey to discovery is a dangerous one. Both Peter and Georgia realise that hitherto they have been marking time until the truth about Rick emerged. And when it does, both can move forward with their lives.
