The Windleton Absurdities is a humorous crime novel set in !960s rural England.
A sleepy, small town of Windleton becomes the focus of the world’s media following a chain of outrageous events. An eccentric bank manager, believing all the money in the bank is rightfully his, steals the fortune of a philanthropic heiress and plans his escape with a past love.
A colourful thread of inhabitants weaves its way through the narrative - a fading Edwardian aristocrat’s family; an outwardly drab secretary with a taste for illicit pleasures; a boozy vicar whose unorthodox Druidic-style ministry mesmerises parishioners and a clairvoyant with a gift of ‘seeing’ that is uncannily half-correct.
The Windelton Absurdities is a page turning comedy crime novel, packed with passion and human drama in a parody of small town life in 1960s England. Secrets, jealousies and outrageous behaviour spill out of its pages from start to finish. Prepare to laugh out loud until this spoof crime drama reaches its fateful conclusion.
