Spoiler:

DISCOVER YOUR NEW FAVOURITE AMATEUR SLEUTH SERIES, A QUIRKY MURDER MYSTERY SET IN A SLEEPY SOMERSET TOWN.

Please note this book was previously published as The Cost of Living.

The little town of Kingsleigh is a place where nothing ever happens. Until . . . a young woman is attacked in an alley on her way home from the supermarket.

The headlines shriek ‘Kingsleigh Stalker!’ The locals just keep calm and carry on.

But then one of the women on the till at Costsave doesn’t turn up for work.

Checkout girl Bea Jordan is determined to find out what happened to her friend. The police don’t seem to be doing anything, so it’s up to her to get to the bottom of things.

And the only person who will help is Ant Thompson, the new guy. But he’s so useless he can’t even mop up a broken bottle of sauce . . .

Meet the workers of Kingsleigh Costsave. There’s Bea, a maths whizz with a heart of gold. Ant, a hapless high-school drop-out. And wisecracking Dot, in her late fifties and always beautifully coiffed.

A CHARMING COZY MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS AND LOVEABLE CHARACTERS.

There are also a romance and an other fiction-ish war novel for free, posted in their respective threads...

Spoiler:

It's midwinter and the Shenandoah Valley is poised on the brink of an unusually icy and snowy season. Alexei Kamarov's body is discovered in a forest within the Picketsville town limits. His driver's license identifies him as Randall Harris. The last Sheriff Ike Schwartz heard of Kamarov, he was reported missing—presumed dead in Russia—the victim of intelligence game-playing.

Ike is not happy this piece of his past has resurfaced. Especially when Ike's former CIA colleague and friend Charlie Garland asks Ike to keep a lid on the investigation.

Slowly, interagency rivalries emerge as local petty criminals vie with international assassins and plotters for attention. All the while, Buffalo Mountain looms in the background....
