Major Bricket and the Circus Corpse. by Brett, Simon.;
Introducing a new but not-so-amateur sleuth from another peaceful English village with an alarmingly high death rate! Meet Major Bricket, an infrequent resident of Highfield House in Stunston Peveril, Suffolk. In the past the Major's work assignments, frequently in foreign countries, have prevented him from spending much time there and a result, there is an air of mystery around him while everyone in the village speculates on the nature of his occupation. But now the Major has retired and has come home for good in his open-topped little red sports car... and what a homecoming it is, for lying spreadeagled on his lawn in the summer sunshine is the corpse of a clown.Library Bound Incorporated

Death by Irish whiskey / by Murphy, C. E.(Catie E.),author.;

But rivalries and revelries turn out to be a bad blend when McConal dies at a whiskey tasting. Megan promised her girlfriend she'd quit her amateur sleuthing, but with Niamh and her uncle as suspects, she's over a barrel ... With her relationship on the rocks, Megan gets in even deeper when a second entrant in the competition is killed--and her investigation starts zeroing in on a suspect. Now she just needs proof.

When a woman approaches Konrad with an important new revelation, a fire is list under this long-cold case."--Back cover.
