Past Tense

The coldest case you ever saw...When Pippa Parker attends a meeting about Clementina Stoate, Victorian poet and former resident of Much Gadding, she has no idea what she's getting into.

A file of Clementina's letters goes missing - and there are no copies. Who has taken the letters, and why?

Clementina's descendant hires Pippa to track the letters down. But as she investigates their disappearance, Pippa discovers a much bigger mystery. And of course, everyone involved is dead.

Can Pippa go back in time and solve a case which has puzzled Clementina's readers for generations? Or is she risking her reputation for nothing?

Past Tense is the sixth book in the Pippa Parker humorous mystery series, set in and around the English village of Much Gadding.
