The Vanilla Killer

The Charity Shop Detective Agency Mysteries, Book 4

De: Peter Boland

Narrado por: Zara Ramm

One sleepy seaside town. Three old friends who love a natter and a cuppa. A killer who's anything but vanilla.

It's the end of a long day at the Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop. Fiona, Daisy, and Partial Sue, the three retired ladies who volunteer there, are ready to lock up for the night.

The chippie is beckoning. But supper will have to wait.

The ladies watch aghast as a clapped-out ice-cream van lurches up to their door—with Daisy's daughter Bella behind the wheel!

Newly divorced Bella has only just gotten rid of her rotten husband. Now, she's bought herself a van—and a whole world of trouble. Because this is a van with a history.

Its freezer may be stocked with sweet treats today, but it once held something much more sinister. The dead body of its former owner!

The culprit, known only as the Vanilla Killer, melted away without a trace.

When Bella starts receiving poison pen letters, the ladies can't help but worry. What if their beloved Bella's next?

There's only one thing for it, the ladies agree over a steaming pot of tea.

They need to track down the Vanilla Killer—before anyone else dies...

Fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood, Janice Hallett, Simon Brett, Ian Moore, and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett will adore this exciting new talent in cozy crime.
