The plot is highly serviceable, and if none of the characters is exactly original, several of them are as vivid as the golden age stereotypes they're so clearly based on.\" -- \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's springtime and Whitstable is emerging from hibernation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile  neither the restaurant nor detective agency is too busy, Pearl resolves  to spend some time at the family allotment. But her best friend,  Nathan, has persuaded one of his favorite actresses to open the May Day  festivities at Whitstable Castle and involves Pearl in his plans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike  Pearl, Faye Marlowe is a Whitstable native, but having left the town  more than two decades ago, the star has been living in the South of  France since her agent's phone stopped ringing. Charming but  'sensitive', she arrives with a small entourage and though her presence  in the town causes a stir Pearl's mother Dolly remains unimpressed,   choosing to remember Faye Marlow when she was plain old Frankie Murray,  the daughter of a local whelk merchant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNathan soon realizes he  has made a mistake with this invitation and his doubts are confirmed  when Faye is nowhere to be found on the morning of May Day. And as 'Jack  in the Green' puts on his impressive costume to lead the parade, the  actress's dead body is discovered - tethered to the maypole on the  Castle grounds . . . and so it's left to Pearl and DCI Mike McGuire to  unravel the mystery of the May Day murder.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Constable","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894863687909,"sku":"NP9781472118950","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_b388555f-6d46-4692-b2b1-8c65166e7128.jpg?v=1773103768","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/may-day-murder-isbn-9781472118950","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
