Summer Garden Murder

Our second Crime Club book for 2008 is Summer Garden Murder by Ann Ripley. Amateur sleuth Louise Eldridge is suspected of murdering a murderer that she'd help catch 4 years previously when his body is found in her garden. He'd spent time in an asylum, supposedly because he was mentally ill when he murdered a young woman. He gatecrashes a party in the neighbourhood, surprising Louise and "sowing the seeds" of the police suspecting her. A second body is discovered building a stronger case against Louise before she turns the tables and realises who the real murderer is. 3/5
