The Widows' Guide to Last Orders
A totally irresistible cozy mystery

Life in Little Shaw is as nice as pie for librarian Ginny Cole. She's got a tentative truce with her grumpy neighbor Detective Inspector Wallace, and Sunday quiz nights at The Lost Goat with her friends (team name: The Merry Widows). Until the young quizmaster is found dead in the cellar. The police call it an accident; Ginny suspects murder. But with Wallace strangely impossible to locate and convince, she and the other widows must step - carefully, mind - into the breach.The victim, it turns out, wasn't just torturing locals with impossible trivia. He was hunting for his great-aunt who vanished from Little Shaw in 1963, along with what village gossips insist was a fortune in Cold War secrets. Now Ginny and her friends must decode a sixty-year-old mystery involving priest holes, spy scandals, and the competing egos of the local history society.
But when the killer strikes again, the widows need to solve this fast before someone calls last orders on them...A brilliantly twisty cozy mystery perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Robert Thorogood and anyone who thinks retirement should come with a side of solving murders.Readers love The Widows' Detective Club mysteries:'I just loved this book, I read it in one sitting.

There were lots of twists and turns and the mystery kept me guessing right to the end... Highly recommended!' Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
