The Ramsburgh Variations (The Thomas Rufford Mysteries Book 3) Kindle Edition
A pair of magnificent peafowl have taken up residence at Ramsburgh, and for Thomas, newly engaged to his beloved Phyllis, they are a promising sign for his future there. When he meets William Lowick, a local journalist, he is glad to have found a clever, irreverent friend to join his growing circle of acquaintances in Hawksbridge. But then William vanishes, much to the distress of his wife, and Thomas suspects a connection with the journalist’s latest investigation.
At the same time, a series of strange events throws the town into confusion. A man dies falling from the town walls, there is a terrible fire, and extraordinary and talented composer Euphemia Harris falls gravely ill in peculiar circumstances.
As Euphemia lies at death’s door, Thomas doggedly pursues the truth, only to become entangled in a shocking and dangerous situation that tests his resourcefulness to the limit.
The third in the Thomas Rufford Mysteries, The Ramsburgh Variations once again visits the charming Victorian town of Hawksbridge, where intrepid Thomas Rufford and his circle of friends fight for justice and solve the darkest mysteries with verve and good humour.
