'Irresistible, all-too-human story' - Dread Review of Mystery
When DCI Bennett remarries after the death of his wife, his family struggle to understand his new choice of partner.
Una is a private, isolated woman, providing little in the way of companionship and preferring to live a very separate life to her husband.
Soon after the wedding, Bennett’s old friend from the force, DCI Webb, also begins to wonder about Una.
And as the two detectives work together on a series of violent shop raids, Bennett’s mood starts to sour.
When two members of the Bennett family become victims of murder, and the cold-hearted Una seems to be inexplicably tangled up in the crimes, Webb is forced to investigate whether she should be a suspect.
Very quickly, a baffling murder investigation is underway, complicated by the intricacies of family disputes and loyalties.
And Webb faces one of the most traumatic cases of his career…
One is One and All Alone is a chilling crime thriller that is perfect for fans of Elizabeth George and Nikki French.
Praise for Anthea Fraser
‘Anthea Fraser is a worthy follower of the traditional whodunit system...The plot is sustained throughout, and her artistic detective who literally "draws conclusions" is an original character.' - Sunderland Echo
'An absorbing, page-turning read' - Woman Journalist
'Offers shrewd look at colour supplement version of country life' - Guardian
‘DCI Webb is a refreshing reminder that the English "cozy" mystery does not have to be run by an aging spinster with a handful of knitting needles or a pedantical peer with a private income.’ - Mystery Scene
Anthea Fraser has written all her life but did not begin to take it seriously until after marriage, when she found herself at home with two small daughters and embarked on a correspondence course with the London School of Journalism. She wrote short stories before turning to novels of the supernatural, and then to crime. Her novels include The Seven Stars, The Ten Commandments, Death Speaks Softly and Pretty Maids All in a Row.
