About this listen

A BRAND NEW page-turning Cosy Mystery series set around a Curiosity Shop in the Cotswolds

From BESTSELLER Debbie Young

With her Curiosity Shop open for business, Alice Carroll is finally settling into life in the picturesque Cotswold village of Little Pride. But then her old life comes knocking… Alice’s ex boyfriend, Steven, who dumped her to travel the world, has run out of money and asks Alice to sell off his collection of chess sets.

Alice decides to host a tournament to showcase the boards, and her plan seems to be working. That is, until chess pieces begin to mysteriously disappear. And when a body is discovered outside the tournament, Alice realises that the victim was a pawn in another, far more dangerous game.

As the host of the event, Alice is eager to help the police investigate. She doesn’t know why anyone would be interested in stealing random chess pieces, let alone willing to kill for them, but she’s determined to find out. Can she solve the case before someone else gets hurt?

Or will this be one gambit too far for Alice?

I like these stories of local communities with different cultures living alongside each other, coming together in times of trouble. The characters are building up nicely, looking forward to the next chapter.

Very well read. Thank you.

Lovely cosy murder mystery. I love this series and the characters can't wait for book three, which ive just pre ordered. The narrator did a great job in bringing the characters to life.

Death at the Village Chess Club is a delightful addition to Debbie Young's Cotswold series. When a chess tournament in a quiet village turns deadly, shopkeeper Alice Carroll finds herself in the middle of another mystery.
With witty writing, quirky characters and a touch of intrigue, this is a cozy mystery fans will thoroughly enjoy.

A clever and charming cozy mystery.
