Death Holds the Key

'Thorpe treats us to another fine period whodunnit featuring a wonderful tag-team of sleuths - the mysterious friar and a good-humoured novice detective who readily admits he's clueless. Silky writing with a whiff of a kero lamp.' Dave Warner 'Death Holds the Key is a clever book ... I'm really hoping we hear more about these characters in subsequent books.' Good Reading 'A very clever story that will keep you guessing. If you like this, make sure you check out another book from the same author, Death Leaves the Station.' Beauty and Lace '[R]eaders will be drawn into the world of small-town Western Australia in the late 1920s, delighting in the characters as they navigate the strained sensibilities and dark secrets of the past.' @]sandysbookaday
