About this ebook
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Cosy crime of a superior order' Sunday Times
Words can be dangerous. Sometimes they kill...
Natalka and Edwin are running a detective agency in Shoreham, Sussex. Despite a steady stream of minor cases, Natalka is frustrated, longing for a big juicy investigation to come the agency's way.
Then a murder case turns up. Local writer, Melody Chambers, is found dead and her family are convinced it is murder. Edwin, a big fan of the obit pages, thinks there's a link to the writer of Melody's obituary who pre-deceased his subject.
The trail leads them to a slightly sinister writers' retreat. When another writer is found dead, Edwin thinks that the clue lies in the words. Seeking professional help, the amateur investigators turn to their friend, detective Harbinder Kaur, to find that they have stumbled on a plot that is stranger than fiction.
The unmissable new novel from the bestselling author of the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries.

It rather sagged in the middle i thought..so many characters going round and round until one lost interest in any of them..the ending was a bit daft but entertaining enough..passed the time..
