I’m so excited to share two pieces of news about my first cosy murder mystery novel – Murder at the House on the Hill! It’s the first book in the Dedley End Mysteries and is out in September!
Firstly, the book is going to be translated into Russian! I can’t wait to see the Russian edition. But the English edition is out in September so the other piece of news will hopefully excite book bloggers and reviewers because you can request to read and review the book on Netgalley now! Just head over HERE.
And for all other readers, pre-order your copy either as an eBook or paperback HERE.
Once Upon A Crime…
Nancy Hunter and her grandmother Jane Hunter run the Dedley Endings Bookshop, selling crime, thriller and mystery books, in a small, quiet Cotswold village where nothing ever happens…
That is, until the wealthy and reclusive Roth family open up their mansion for the first time in thirty years, inviting the people of Dedley End to a lavish engagement party.
While everyone is thrilled to finally look around the mansion on the hill, the festivities are quickly cut short when beautiful Lucy, recently married to young Harry Roth, is found dead after being pushed over the first-floor balustrade.
But who among the guests could have been capable of her murder – and why?
Nancy and Jane decide to investigate – after all, not only do they own a crime themed bookshop, they were also both named after famous literary detectives – but soon wonder if they’ve taken on more than they can handle. Especially when it seems the killer has worked out that they’re hot on their heels…
Can they catch the murderer before the murderer catches up with them? Or will there be a deadly ending to this story?
Join the unlikeliest detective duo for the first of
The Dedley End Mysteries series, for fans of Richard Osman and Charlaine Harris’ Aurora Teagarden series.
