Amateur sleuth Jimmy London, a journalist by trade, finds himself drawn into the case and works alongside the local police to uncover the truth behind the killing. John Rowland crafts a tightly plotted, atmospheric mystery in the golden age tradition, delivering a tone that is brisk, clever, and thoroughly entertaining. The seaside setting lends the narrative a deceptively cheerful backdrop that contrasts sharply with the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of a quiet Kent community. Fans of Agatha Christie and the British cozy mystery genre will find this a satisfying and well-constructed puzzle from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810631528667,"sku":"2026600003028-SECONDHAND","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/34812205-696b-45cf-8b5e-290b3b923aee.png?v=1779806264","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600003028-secondhand-calamity-in-kent","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
