{"product_id":"2940170483020","title":"Jess Castle and the Eyeballs of Death","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome to Castle Kidbury amp;mdash; a pretty town in a green West Country valley. A microcosm of the wider world, it's home to all sorts of people, with all the stresses and joys of modern life, but with a floral clock and a proper butcher's. It also has, for our purposes, a rash of gory murders....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJess Castle is running away. Again. This time she's running back home, like she swore she never would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastle Kidbury, like all small towns, hums with gossip, but now it's plagued with murder of the most gruesome kind. Jess instinctively believes that the hippyish cult camped out on the edge of town are not responsible for the spate of crucifixions that blights the pretty landscape. Her father, a respected judge, despairs of Jess as she infiltrates the cult and manages, not for the first time, to get herself arrested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRupert Lawson, a schooldays crush who's now a barrister, bails her out. Jess ropes in a reluctant Rupert as she gatecrashes the murder investigation of DS Eden. A by-the-book copper, Eden has to admit that intuitive, eccentric Jess has the nose of a detective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the gory murders pile up, there¿s nothing to connect the victims. And yet, the clues are there if you look hard enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for fans of \u003ci\u003eMidsomer Murders\u003c\/i\u003e and M. C. Beaton, this is cosy crime at its most entertaining and enthralling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102489034992,"sku":"2940170483020","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170483020_p0.jpg?v=1763710707","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170483020","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
