A Deadly Walk in Devon

Praise for Nicholas George and A Deadly Walk in Devon

“Debut author George relates how Chase uncovers potential motives of other members of the walking group; in the process, Chase becomes a target for the murderer. George, whose own love of long-distance walking inspired the book, offers a satisfying mystery with a well-drawn interesting protagonist.” —The Washington Post

“This appealing, first-in-a-series debut is a variation on the closed-house mystery, with distinct
character personalities hiding deep enmities.” —Booklist

“George’s series debut is crisply written, laying a solid groundwork for further whodunits featuring an unconventional pair of sleuths in Chase and Billie.” —Kirkus Reviews

Avoid jet lag and join the intriguing group of trekkers in Nicholas George’s A Deadly Walk in Devon and wander along a trail full of treacherous twists and turns to the absolutely gobsmacking reveal at the end of the path. Great fun!” —Leslie Meier, Author of Patchwork Quilt Murder

“You’ll want to walk just about anywhere with retired police detective Rick “Chase” Chasen, a modern day Hercule Poirot.” —Lee Hollis, Author of Poppy Harmon and the Shooting Star

“Take A Deadly Walk in Devon with Nicholas George in this suspenseful ‘quozy’ mystery, where every step uncovers a new secret in the picturesque English countryside.
