Description

Satisfyingly intriguing.' Faith Martin
'J.M. Hall has mastered the warmth of a perfect modern cosy crime with all the twists and turns that go with it.' Hannah Hendy
Retired schoolteachers and amateur sleuths Liz, Pat and Thelma have a brand-new mystery to solve in this wonderfully witty cosy.
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 the Melmbury slice 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…
In the sweltering summer heat, can our unlikely trio 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.
