Summary

Anabel Donald's first Notting Hill mystery starring tough but vulnerable amateur sleuth, Alex Tanner

An Uncommon Murder Summary

An Uncommon Murder by Anabel Donald

An Uncommon Murder is the first detective novel in Anabel Donald's acclaimed Notting Hill series.

'I'm twenty-eight. I'm a freelance TV researcher. And last November I investigated my first murder . . .'

Alex Tanner is always on the lookout for work - mortgages on flats in Notting Hill don't come cheap after all and she only has herself to rely on. So when TV producer Barty O'Neill mentions a particularly juicy assignment for his latest documentary she jumps at the chance.

Barty sends Alex to investigate the shooting of Lord Sherman, who was a member of London's high society in the 50s, and whose case remains unresolved.

Alex hopes that a governess of the family, Miss Sarah Potter, will help untangle the truth, or will she lead Alex down another hidden path of the family's privileged history?

An Uncommon Murder Reviews

A book to gulp down in one sitting . . . The sparkling writing and immediacy of the characterization plus a gripping mystery raise this well above the average detective novel * Sunday Telegraph *
One of my top ten crime novels for 1992 -- Gerald Kaufman * Scotland on Sunday *
Both gritty and poignant, with heroine to match * Kirkus Reviews *
Donald's young, street-smart female sleuth, a rare breed in contemporary British crime fiction, is an appealing protagonist * Publisher's Weekly *

About Anabel Donald

Anabel Donald has been writing fiction since 1982 when her first novel, Hannah at Thirty-five, was published to great critical acclaim. The Notting Hill series - her five crime novels featuring female sleuth Alex Tanner - met with equal success in the 1990s, and were followed in 2002 by Be Nice - a female dystopian novel inspired both by William Golding's classic Lord of the Flies and thirty years of Donald's own experiences as a class teacher.
