Synopsis

Menacing texts lead to murder in an English village, in this unmissable, witty mystery by the Dagger Award–nominated author of A Most Unusual Demise.

May Morrigan is in her bookshop one morning when she—and everyone else in the shop—receives an anonymous text. It contains a reference to a Shakespeare quotation—and seems to be aimed at the vicar and his partner, Juan. The next morning, one of them is dead.

Meanwhile, May's elderly mother, Minty, is staying with her, her old friend Fletcher, and her two dogs. To her dismay, Minty is quite preoccupied with death herself lately. She also keeps reminiscing about her past in ways that make May wonder what secrets she's hiding.

As disturbing texts continue to arrive, the Blackheath residents are threatened with further revelations and titillations. Then Fletcher becomes the focus of the tormenting texter . . . and barely escapes an attempt on his life. It's time for May to send a strong message—and block this killer permanently . . .

Goodreads review by Kristin

This is the perfect cozy mystery! Of course we get the mystery part of it, but this one had SO much humor in it that I found myself laughing out loud a LOT. There was one or two complete chapters that I just couldn’t stop laughing. This author did a great job of mixing the funny with the mystery. The......more

Goodreads review by Amy

I haven’t read the first book in this series and so wasn’t sure what to expect from this one. It holds up well as a standalone and I found it easy to follow the story and characters without having any feeling of ‘missing out’ with not having read book one. It’s a cosy murder mystery which isn’t usual......more
