The second novella in the Blake Hetherington mysteries series and twice as long as the first, Blake is once more embroiled in a tale of deception, when a murder takes place on his beloved allotment.
It is said that an Englishman's home is his castle. For Blake it is his beloved allotment. That is until he discovers a body in amongst the vegetables.
With the Rambleteers threatening the future of the allotments and an escaped prisoner on the loose, are any of the plots safe?
With the help of Delilah Delibes will Blake unravel the mystery before another death occurs?
More importantly, who will win first prize at the Tuesbury Autumn Show?
One For The Rook is the second novelette in the Blake Hetherington series and features murder, mystery and intrigue in the style of true British cosy crime.
Who is Blake Hetherington? A shrewd and sometimes intolerant widower; Blake has a big heart, a true sense of justice and weakness for the damsel in distress. Often finding himself on a 'sea of assumptions without a paddle of truth', he carefully and methodically gathers the evidence to solve the mystery. The odd glance, the chance meeting or a peculiar habit all lead him to the answer.

About The Author
D S Nelson's introduction to murder came from Agatha Christie. Her inquisitive Miss Marple, of St Mary Mead, and very Belgian Poirot, with his 'little grey cells', captured her imagination from a young age. The intellectual and astute Sherlock Holmes, of Arthur Conan Doyle's detective fiction, is also a clear influence in her writing.

One For The Rook Blake Hetherington Mysteries Book 2 edition by D S Nelson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
The second Hetherington novella, One For the Rook, features the same wit and warm prose as the first but is a much more satisfying 117 pages. I felt like the extra length really gave the plot time to develop. (Though, being the book hound that I am, I could honestly have done with an even longer book!) This time around, Hetherington stumbles over that most classic of murder mystery head-scratchers a body in the garden, bludgeoned with Hetherington's own prize pumpkin, no less. Who killed the man, and why? Was it a crime of passion arising from a local quarrel, or is a dangerous criminal operating in the neighborhood? And will they kill again?
Through a series of careful deductions, Hetherington once again sets out to succeed where the police have failed and catch the murderer before they can wreak more havoc. This book made me think of the various British mystery TV miniseries I've enjoyed over the year; you can almost see yourself standing in the allotments and uneasily eyeballing the neighbors, wondering if any of them are trustworthy! The influence of Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are very apparent in Hetherington's careful, logical deductions from the tiniest of details.
In typical Agatha Christie style, if its murder that you want then its murder you shall get, for D S Nelson’s “One For The Rook” is a book full of delights. Best described as a cosy crime thriller it has all the hallmarks of a classic Miss Marple Murder Mystery.
