About this listen

'At the top of the tree of modern whodunnits' - Ian Moore

Murder is the only paw-sible explanation…

During a routine welfare check, the police find local shop owner Mr. Fitzgerald at the foot of his stairs, dead. There is broken glass over the floor of his shop, his dog has been locked in the kitchenette cupboard, and on the counter is an envelope addressed to Mrs. and Mrs. Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker – The Dinner Lady Detectives.

As the town mourns Mr. Fitzgerald's death as an unfortunate accident, Margery and Clementine cannot shake the sense that there is something suspicious about the scene. They are convinced this was no accident. But why would anybody want to harm an elderly shopkeeper? And with the culprit still at large, and determined to cover their tracks, can they get to the bottom of the case before there is another victim?

A charming, cozy crime novel which will make you laugh out loud. Perfect for fans of J.M. Hall and Fiona Leitch.

Hannah Hendy lives in a small town in South Wales with her long-suffering wife and two spoilt cats. A professional chef by trade, she started writing to fill the time between shifts.

This series is probably considered a cozy series, however it’s so much more! Wonderful characters and superb writing and narration. I love this whole series and look forward to the next one! The characters are what makes it and I love the camaraderie between them.

So fabulous

I really like the story but infuriated by the ridiculousness of the head teachers supposed power. Head teachers have no right to tell teachers who they can meet outside school unless it is something illegal. As an ex teacher I couldn't get past this and so it spoiled the story for me

The ridiculous power of the head teacher
