'An immersive and really satisfying mystery' Faith Martin
'As an iced drink in a heatwave ... These characters and their families feel like old friends. A fantastic addition to the series.' Fiona Leitch
Retired schoolteachers and amateur sleuths Liz, Pat and Thelma have a brand-new mystery to solve in this wonderfully witty cosy mystery.
Retired schoolteachers Pat, Liz and Thelma don't know what to think. The death of Neville Hilton is not a crime. Just your standard, if tragic, heart attack. At least that's what the autopsy shows.
But his ex-wife isn't convinced. She's sure the current Mrs Hilton is involved - maybe she wasn't at some horse event, as she told police.
And so the three friends step away from their slices of cake to investigate.
As the trio delve into the village's secrets, they uncover more than they bargained for - angry residents with old grudges and the echoes of a damning report that ruined lives all those years ago...
Can these unlikely sleuths untangle the web of lies and uncover the truth before anybody else dies?
The brand-new totally addictive and page-turning cosy mystery featuring these very unlikely sleuths. Fans of Agatha Christie and Midsomer Murders will be hooked from the very first page.
