Bethany Russell

Murder in the Alps Bethany Russell

It's Ethel and Billy Bobberton's last day in Herringburg-an isolated, German village located in the alps-and it promises to be a treat. There's an annual alpine skiing race being held in the morning, followed by a day of drinking, fun and festivities. Even better, the local legend Noah Webber, a friend that Billy and Ethel made while touring the village, is a shoo-in to win! Really, it's the perfect way to end their time in Germany. By the time the nightly celebrations come around, Ethel is ready for bed, leaving Billy to carry on with Noah and the other locals. Billy does just that, drinking long into the night and enjoying his final few hours in Herringburg the best he can. But the good times can't last. It's early the next morning when he is awoken by a phone call from the local police station informing him that Noah Webber has been killed and Ethel looks to be the cause. It doesn't look good for Ethel either, who has no memory of the night before, and was found at the crime scene with the murder weapon in hand. Even worse is that in two days' time, Ethel will be sent to Berlin where she is sure to go down for a murder she did not commit! With no choice, and no time to spare, Billy takes to the case, desperate to prove his mother's innocence before it is too late. Please Note: Third Volume of The Bobberton Diaries Mystery Series.
