‘An immersive and really satisfying mystery’ Faith Martin

‘As an iced drink in a heatwave … These characters and their families feel like old friends. A fantastic addition to the series.’ Fiona Leitch

Retired schoolteachers and amateur sleuths Liz, Pat and Thelma have a brand-new mystery to solve in this wonderfully witty cosy mystery.

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 their slices of cake 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…

Can these unlikely sleuths 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.

Brilliant book. Gutted no 5 is on hold. Looking forward to new different book though. Sometimes I wish J.M.Hall's books weren't so good! This book hasn't lasted me a week! I couldn't put it down!

perfect

I think I may have to start again with book 1 because I had no idea who was who with the main characters this outing. Maybe the assumption is made that we know them now, and maybe other readers do, or maybe my attention wasn't engaged sufficiently. Let's assume it's me.
With a break from the characters now I'm not sure I shall remember to come back.
Thinking of Richard Osmans departure from his original novels. I certainly bought and read that but it wasn't all it might have been.

Absolutely love the continuation of these stories based on the sleuthing of these 3 retired primary school teachers, written with such tenderness and class. Also love their husbands, give a shout out for Rod Derek and retired vicar (now parcel delivery man) Teddy. And the pets. And the sons. There’s nothing twee about these books but there’s a tenderness. J M Hall delivers and Julie H is the perfect voice for these stories. This fourth one of the series is especially good- but start at the beginning so that you know who Topsy Joy is, as well as the importance of an excellent wall stapler.

The fantastic narration and excellent characterisations
