A glance at some of the crime novels she loved to read, and which filled her bookshelves, reveal a whole different side to the recently deceased pensioner.Īuthors galore have dedicated their books to Peggy – one even writing: “PS: Thanks for the murders”. You see, Peggy wasn’t quite the doddery white-haired old dear she made herself out to be. Natalka, the Ukrainian woman who was Peggy’s regular carer, is not so sure. She was elderly and had a heart condition so it all screams natural causes… Or does it? It all begins in pretty mundane fashion, when Peggy Smith, the 90-year-old resident of a block of seafront apartments in Shoreham, West Sussex, is found dead in her armchair. Now Kaur is back, in a book that is a pure joy to read. The Stranger Diaries was a big success, and among the characters featured in it was DS Harbinder Kaur. Her Dr Ruth Galloway books have won her legions of fans and myriad awards, and in addition to the Brighton Mysteries series, in recent years Elly Griffiths has turned her hand to the standalone format too.
