About this listen

Don't miss this brilliantly gripping cozy mystery from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Fiona Walker

A must-listen for fans of Richard Osman, Janet Evanovich and the Reverend Richard Coles!

Former stand-up comic Juno Mulligan has been suffering a serious sense-of-humour failure. Not only has she lost the love of her life, but she’s having to relocate to the (admittedly idyllic) village of Inkbury to watch out for her elderly mother, who she’s genuinely worried might be marrying a wife-killer.

She hopes that her old friend, disgraced-journalist-turned-novelist Phoebe Fredericks can help her crack the case of whether her mother’s perma-tanned, iceberg-smiled, three-times-a-widower fiancé is hiding a murderous past.

But before they have a chance, the local art dealer washes up distinctly dead in the village’s famous river. His lover is in the frame, but Juno and Phoebe suspect that there is a deeper secret… One that relates to Phoebe’s own past and Juno’s present.

Will the unofficial Village Detective Agency solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? In sleepy Inkbury, as they soon discover, living one’s best midlife can be murder.

A new direction for Fiona Walker, cleverly introduced via some old favourite characters. It was wonderful to get reacquainted with Phoebe and Juno. I wish Felix had been in the story a little earlier. I also wanted it to go on a bit longer. I can’t wait to read the next instalment of The Village Detectives. Can you put some horses in the next one please Fiona! ;)

A promising start!
