Judith Cutler

Death in Elysium: a New Contemporary Cosy Murder Mystery Series Judith Cutler

Brief Description: When a local lad that vicar's wife Jodie Welsh employed to help in her garden disappears, along with Jodie s expensive camera, nearly everyone assumes the worst. But Burble s disappearance marks the start of a series of increasingly disturbing incidents until the body shows up, and Jodie must use all her skills to unmask a ruthless killer."Marc Notes: Highflying city career woman Jodie Welch was prepared for a dramatic change in lifestyle when she met and married the Reverend Theo Welch, settling down to an entirely new kind of life as the wife of a country vicar in the picturesque village of Lesser Hogben. But if she thought life as a city deal-maker was tough, nothing could have prepared her for the emotional rollercoaster of local church and village politics. As a newcomer, Jodie encounters hostility and disapproval from several of the villagers, particularly in her efforts to engage and assist Lesser Hogben's disaffected youth. Review Citations:
