Wycliffe and the Guild of Nine

Wycliffe and the Guild of Nine (2000) is a crime novel by Cornish writer W. J. Burley.[1]

Synopsis

On the moor west of St Ives, an artists' colony has been running on the site of a disused mine, run by the married astrologers Archer and Lina. The latest member is the shadowy and beautiful Francine, who hopes to invest a legacy into the business. Because of her Scorpio star sign, Archer isn't convinced, although Lina soon accepts her offer.

However, the trouble begins when Francine is found dead, killed by a deliberately blocked gas heater. Wycliffe soon makes his presence known as a murder investigation begins, and he quickly learns that several of the creative souls assembled have justifiable reasons for not wanting the police intruding on their private affairs. ...

gollark: I mean, there are things which may make you wonder "what happened here" and inspire you to think of some sort of history (strongholds, mineshafts, etc.), but there is no actual explanation, and that's kind of part of the point of a *sandbox*.
gollark: * doesn't have lore exactly
gollark: Exactly.
gollark: That's very random, and it doesn't really *have* lore.
gollark: Presumably they can at least get a rough idea of where it *isn't*.
