Wickedly funny cozy crime, from million-copy bestselling author Fiona Walker! Fans of The Thursday Murder Club and A Death on Location will love the Village Detectives!
Synopsis
Juno is feeling ready – at last – to start dating again, after losing her husband some years ago. She is sure she can make time from being a Village Detective, indeed it might help distract her from her crush on hunky (but far-too-young!) pub landlord – Mil.
So she’s signed up to an exclusive new dating app and cannot wait. But when one of the founding investors in that same dating app drops dead in front of fellow Village Detective Phoebe in a nearby hotel – and then a second investor is found hanging in the local cricket pavilion just days later – Juno knows she’ll have to put her love life on hold.
Teaming up once more with Phoebe, Felix and Mil… the Village Detectives are back. And this time Juno – who’d thought she was getting under the covers with a new lover – is going undercover to catch a killer…
Review:
This is the third charming installment in this cozy mystery series with the village detectives, and once again Phoebe finds herself in the wrong place at the right time to witness a potential murder. But coincidences may just be coincidences, but as the she learns more about the app and a second murder occurs, the whole team realizes something is off in the village, and the police aren't catching on, taking the easy routes of 'misadventure'. So it's up to Phoebe, with her new bestie (who may or may not be involved) to figure out why the investors seem to be dying. A page turner with plenty of twists, this one will keep you reading, and looking forward to the nest book in the series.
