Fearful Symmetry

Exhausted after a gruelling world tour, international cellist Sara Selkirk is looking foward to a few months' recuperation at her picturesque cottage near Bath.

But her peace is shattered when famous Hungarian composer Here Enescu drops into town with his increasingly unreasonable demands.  And Sara’s growing attraction to the music-loving DCI Andrew Poole causes her to make the mistake of becoming involved with a community opera society of which Andrew is a member.  The Circus Opera Group is a motley crew.  There's faded diva Helene and her autistic daughter Adele, vain, talentless composer Cosmo and his long-suffering girlfriend, Poppy.  Not to mention Andrew's wife, who's beginning to grow suspicious.  With this uneasy mix and clash of fragile egos, both Sara and Andrew predict trouble ahead.  What they don't expect to encounter is sudden, violent death.

Intricately plotted, peopled with a cast of complex, fascinating characters, Fearful Symmetry is the second novel to feature the highly original and engaging amateur sleuth, Sara Selkirk.

 

‘Fearful Symmetry makes the elegant city of Bath a venue for fear and suspicion.  A mesmerising psychological thriller …  it suggests that Joss is the most persuasive chronicler of the city perhaps best known to some as Jane Austen's stamping ground.'
(The Times)

 ‘Joss has a remarkable talent … and a gift for creating wonderful characters and relationships.’ (Yorkshire Post)
