A by-election looming and a routine rainy day becomes anything but routine for Christine Capper.
Christine isn't interested in politics but when a sordid case of blackmail is set before her, she reluctantly agrees to take it on when she thinks she recognises a name. Less than twenty-four hours later a man lies dead in the street and Christine comes under pressure to reveal what she knows.
Then Reggie Monk, star of Radio Haxford, makes her an offer she can't refuse.
But it's not all plain sailing. Threatened, then attacked, she's confronted with a pivotal moment in her life, one which threatens her comfort and security.
But will it help crack a case of BLACKMAIL AT THE BALLOT BOX?
Blackmail at the Ballot Box is book three of Mrs Capper's Casebooks, a cosy‑mystery series about a sharp‑witted Yorkshire housewife‑turned‑private‑investigator solving twisty small‑town crimes with humour, heart, and a knack for finding trouble.
