Summary

 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.©2023 Victoria Walters (P)2026 W. F. Howes Ltd. Cosy Crime Fiction Mystery Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Crime Murder

The first one in the series was interesting and I had hopes at second but sadly this is really not worth bothering with, it is painfully obvious who committed the crimes and why from very early on, the story drags badly and the characters don’t feel real in any sense.

None of the characters are very well fleshed out or seemed to have a personality, I know it’s meant to be a cozy crime series but there are far better ones out there than this, sadly clichéd badly plotted and irredeemably trite.

A disappointing second
