Resumen del Editor

Julia Bird’s picturesque Cotswolds life is everything she’d dreamed of. Until, that is, she discovers a dead body in the library....

Julia Bird had imagined the quiet of rural life would be soothing after years in the city, but she finds she can’t just sit still. Determined to throw herself into village activities, she joins the library just in time to attend a talk by celebrated local author Vincent Andrews.

Charming, devilishly handsome, and talented, Vincent teases the crowd with a reading from his forthcoming novel. Set in a village bearing strange similarities to Berrywick, with characters the audience start to recognize, Vincent hints of dark secrets to be revealed, to gasps of outrage from the room. The meeting ends in uproar, and, just hours later, Vincent’s dead body is discovered behind the bookshelves....

As one of the last people to see him alive, Julia feels morally bound to help the police investigate. With her trusty Labrador, Jake, at her side, she decides to do her own sleuthing and quickly discovers that Vincent’s personal life is messy, his finances are in disarray, and his book sales are declining. But most of all, remembering her neighbors' faces at the book reading, Julia wonders if one of them could have lost the plot enough to kill....

As Julia interrogates the suspects, she walks straight into another scene of murder and mayhem and realizes Vincent’s manuscript is now missing. There’s someone out there who’s deadly serious about keeping their secrets unpublished. Will Julia be able to stop them, before anyone else gets hurt?

Brilliantly twisty, this completely thrilling cozy mystery is perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Helena Marchmont, and Clare Chase.

Engaging Entertainment

Love the warmth of the village characters coming through. Fun, fast paced. I look forward to the next novel.

Another murder in the cotswolds

Another great story! Loved it from beginning to end. Starting book 3 and waiting for 4 to be released

Intriguing

I listened to the Audible in two days. There are so many twists and turns in a intriguing story that kept me guessing the murder of VF Anderson and the character Felitie. Lucy Scott is fantastic in narrating the cast of characters.

Hooked on this series

This 2nd book is as good as the 1st one. The same excellent Narrator. The plot is well structured. The characters are believable and endearing. An A+ cozy mystery. Looking forward to the 3rd book.

Well written cozy

Delightful find. Characters are appealing, particularly the 60 year old heroine. I didn’t figure out the murderer which is always a plus!
