THE BEACH HUT MURDERS an absolutely gripping cozy mystery filled with twists and turns

By Peter Boland

PUT THE KETTLE ON AND DISCOVER AN UTTERLY CHARMING COZY MURDER MYSTERY SET IN A SLEEPY ENGLISH SEASIDE TOWN.

It's almost summer in Southbourne and the ladies of the Charity Shop Detective Agency are ready for another season of sun, sea and . . . murder.

Amongst the rows of charming brightly painted cabins, an elderly man's beach hut is set on fire in the middle of the night - while he slept inside.

By day, Fiona, Sue and Daisy volunteer at the Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop. But, by night, they investigate crimes. And they're determined to get to the bottom of this murder.

Malcolm Crainey was a bit of an eccentric, but he was harmless really. Who would want to kill him?

The ladies soon uncover a long list of possible suspects. Neighbours who hated Malcolm for refusing to swap huts. Members of the snobby beach hut association who took umbrage with Malcom's quirky beachcombed cabin decorations.

Then another hut is burned down in the dead of night. Thankfully there was no one asleep inside this time. But the pressure is on - can Fiona, Sue and Daisy find the culprit before the beach hut murderer strikes again?

Fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Janice Hallett, Simon Brett, Ian Moore and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett will adore this exciting new talent in cozy crime.
