About The Book
A fete worse than death…
After finding the killer of Lucy Roth six months ago, life has settled back to normal for bookshop owner, Nancy Hunter, and her grandmother, Jane. The annual Dedley End village fete is just around the corner, and Nancy is delighted when bestselling author, Thomas Green, agrees to launch his first new novel in ten years there.
But then a series of sinister events lead Nancy to realise someone is trying to sabotage their fete, so she, along with Jane and their journalist friend Jonathan, must turn detective to discover who isn’t at all thrilled about the return of Thomas Green.
When a body is discovered at the summer fete, the death scene mirroring that in Thomas’ latest bestseller, they realise that there’s another killer in Dedley End, but can they outsmart someone who appears to have pulled off the perfect crime?
The clues are right under Nancy and Jane’s noses, if only they can find them. Because the answers to life’s questions can always be found in a book…!
A twisty, unputdownable cozy mystery that fans of Richard Osman, S.J. Bennett and The Marlow Murder Club will love.
My Review
I read a previous book in the series Murder At The House On The Hill and really enjoyed it. I really love both Nancy and Jane as characters and love the relationship the two of them have? Add in Jonathan and you’ve got a wonderful trio who I really love.
I love that their bookshop once again played a part, this time focused around a visiting author who grew up in the area. Just when I thought I had worked out who was the culprit, it all got turned around on me – but it makes total sense! I will definitely be picking up more books in the series.
