Val & Arbie Book 4

Faith Martin has been writing for thirty years and has published over sixty novels. She began writing romantic thrillers as Maxine Barry, but quickly turned to crime! It was when she started writing detective stories as Faith Martin that she became more widely known. Having lived Oxfordshire all her life, both the city and the countryside often feature in her novels. The fauna of a farming landscape has always played a big part in her life – and often sneaks its way onto the pages of her books.
