High Pique
The Sixth Buxton Spa Murder Mystery.
The Well-Dressings Festival, a highlight of the summer in Buxton Spa since 1841, was cancelled in the summer of 1915 because of the War. During the five years since the end of the War, the town has been divided between supporters and opponents of the festival. Each year, reasons have been put forward for postponing its revival. Although the the blessing of the water is performed by the Vicar, some residents regard the event as dangerously close to the ancient rites intended to honour pagan gods.
A body is found on the site of an ancient Celtic temple beside the River Wye. That sets off a chain of events. In which Eleanor Harriman, a solicitor in her father’s firm of Harriman & Talbot becomes involved.
