Eyes down to find a killer whos playing to win
An irresistible slice of murder and mystery theres a killer on the loose in the Lake District, and the members of the Penrith Bingo Club have decided theyre the ones to catch the culprit
Jason Brazel is an out of work journalist who lives in Penrith with his family and mother-in-law, Amita. She knows everyone and everything thats going on in this corner of the Lakes.
So when its discovered that Madeline Forbisher, one of Amitas fellow regulars at the bingo club has died, found by the postman outside her crumbling country home close to Ullswater Lake, she senses immediately this is no accident. The trouble is, no one else seems to take her suspicions seriously.
That is, until she enlists the help of her friends at the Penrith Bingo Club. Dismissed by many as eccentric, over the hill or out of touch, it turns out that its unlucky for some that these amateur sleuths are on the case
