A fete worse than death…
After finding the killer of Lucy Roth six months ago, life has settled
back to normal for bookshop owner, Nancy Hunter, and her
grandmother, Jane. The annual Dedley End village fete is just
around the corner, and Nancy is delighted when bestselling author, Thomas
Green, agrees to launch his first new novel in ten years there.
But then a series of sinister events lead Nancy to realise someone is
trying to sabotage their fete, so she, along with Jane and their journalist
friend Jonathan, must turn detective to discover who isn’t at all thrilled
about the return of Thomas Green.
When a body is discovered at the summer fete, the death scene mirroring
that in Thomas’ latest bestseller, they realise that there’s another killer in
Dedley End, but can they outsmart someone who appears to have pulled off the
perfect crime?
The clues are right under Nancy and Jane’s noses, if only they can find
them. Because the answers to life’s questions can always be found in a book…!
A twisty, unputdownable cozy mystery that fans of Richard Osman, S.J.
Bennett and The Marlow Murder Club will love.

I loved Murder at the House on the
Hill, so I’ve been excitedly awaiting this next instalment and it has not
disappointed at all. Victoria Walters has created the perfect cosy murder
mystery series here, I hope we have many more mysteries to solve (via Nancy and
co!)
Bookshop owner, and amateur sleuth, is hosting her
first author event during the annual village fete. She’s excited as the author
is a famous best seller and former local, although this excitement dims
slightly when she starts receiving threats against him. When a body is
discovered during the fete in the very same circumstances described in the
authors latest book, all eyes look to those close to him to discover who did it
and why.
After their previous success in murder mystery
solving and feeling responsible for the death taking place at their event, our
favourite trio – Nancy, Jane and Jonathan leap into action once again, despite
several warnings from the local police officials. Nancy is keen to figure out
who had it in for popular writer and knows that time is of the essence.
Not everyone is happy that the sleuths are getting
involved, making it clear they should keep their noses out. This time a lot
more is at stake, lives are on the line.
I love trying to figure it all out along with
Nancy and her Gran, this time did seem to have less suspects than the first
book although I did have an inkling who might be the culprit, I was unsure as
to why. It kept me entertained throughout, mystery, drama and a lot of fun.
It well written, good plot and interesting
characters. Love this series and I cannot wait for the next book for more
detective work!

So glad you're enjoying the series and the book. I don't mind figuring out the murderer early if I can't figure out the why.
