From the creator of Hill House Vintage and βQueen of Cottagecoreβ (Vogue), a fresh, witty, fun, and delightfully quirky cozy crime novel set in a seemingly sleepy English village for fans of Richard Osman, Parini Shroff, Benjamin Stevenson, and Anthony Horowitz.
βMiss Marple for the 21st Century.β βS.J. Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot
Welcome to the beautiful, bucolic village of Pudding Corner, where there's death amongst the dahlias . . .
Daphne Brewster has gladly swapped south London for Pudding Corner, a Norfolk hamlet full of quintessentially English charm. With a mix of stone cottages, Georgian architecture, and Victorian Gothic houses all nestled together and surrounded by fields of gold and green, Pudding Corner and its neighboring village of Pepperbridge seem as far from the bustle of city living as one can get.
Β
For Daphne, joy at moving into beautiful Cranberry Farmhouse with her husband, James, and their three young children is tempered by some concerns about being the only Black woman for miles around. But within a few short months, Daphne has become known as the parishβs βVintage Ladyβ and has set up her own shop. Business is thriving, and so is her family. As for Pudding Corner, itβs rapidly revealing itself to be filled with complicated, intertwined lives on par with anything she left behind. Then the local schoolβs headmaster is found dead in his allotment patch, unleashing a storm of secrets and scandal.
Β
Even a sleepy village has its social hierarchy, and as her new friend, Minerva, becomes a target of whispers and speculation, Daphne canβt resist getting involved. Fighting for the underdog comes as naturally as sourcing the perfect vintage piece. But there is more at stake here than Daphne could have guessed, and a killer who has succeeded once is all too willing to try again . . .
