title: Takeout Double
author: Moody, Susan
description: Two years of teaching biology had been enough.  Two years of dissecting frogs and reeking of formaldehyde had finally persuaded Cassie Swann to set up as a bridge professional instead. So far, she has managed to make a reasonable living, operating from her Cotswold cottage. And then, during a Winter Bridge Weekend at a country-house hotel, she finds three of her punters dead around the green-baize table. And at least one of them is indisputably the victim of murder. Nothing to do with Cassie - or is it? When she realises that her livelihood is now threatened by the unwanted notoriety, she is forced  to undertake some investigations of her own. Set amid the eccentricities of English village life   Takeout Double is the first in a marvellous series featuring an amateur sleuth in the obsessive world of bridge players.
