⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A truly delightful first novel!" B. Shiona
A DELIGHTFUL COZY MYSTERY FULL OF QUAINT VILLAGES, QUIRKY CHARACTERS, AND MADCAP ADVENTURES BY A BESTSELLING AUTHOR. Helen Ryes and Martha Littleword, two Americans living in England, become fast friends and amateur sleuths when a murder lands them in hot water. Killers unfortunately rarely stop at just one murder and the tome-filled libraries, ivy-covered manor homes, and lush countryside of England can be decidedly deadly! It's a beautiful summer and the busy village of Marsden-Lacey, England, has murder on its mind. Someone just whacked everyone's least favorite villager, Sir Alan Carstons, on his villainous head. That's when American expats, paralegal Martha Littleword and book expert Helen Ryes, find themselves knee-deep in Yorkshire murder. Spirited empty nesters, they throw their newbie detective hats into the ring, only to discover a murder mystery can quickly turn from adventurous lark into personal peril. With a dash of charm and humor, and the help of a few quirky villagers, the girls might survive. They'll have to figure out how to handle the local catch-of-the-day, Piers Cousins, and the cantankerous Chief of Police, DCI Johns. Will they, or won't they? If they do, they might solve a murder, or two, along with a hundred-year-old mystery involving a Bront? sister and a famous piece of English history. A FUN, ADVENTURE-FILLED MURDER MYSTERY WITH PLENTY OF HEART. Fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin, the Reverend Richard Coles, Ian Moore and Jane Adams will love this unputdownable mystery.
