But the next morning, when her completely infuriating postman (who likes to think himself her no.1 literary critic) rings her doorbell, a parcel of poisoned pen-nibs explodes in his face. Forced to confront the fact her correspondence is more RIP than RSVP, Phoebe realises someone must want her dead.

Readers are loving the Village Detective series: 'Engrossing... Kind of reminds me of a cross between the Agatha Raisin TV series and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, both of which I love. This is the perfect, lighthearted summer read for anyone looking for some fun escapism.' Reader Review 'A crossover between a witty romcom and a cosy crime.' Reader Review 'I woke up early to read it and I struggled to put it down. The best book I've read this year. The characters were great, I got really invested in them and the storyline was gripping. Please write more!' Reader Review 'An outstanding cozy mystery based in the idyllic village of Inkbury, a beautiful location famous for its glittering river, unspoilt and clear... A briliant cozy that has the perfect balance of mystery and comedy, loved it!' Reader Review 'A great cosy mystery!' Reader Review 'Loved this! Very clever cosy with great, diverse characters... Thoroughly engaging, and very much looking forward to the next in the series.' Reader Review 'A delightfully cosy read, the main characters are fun and engaging. Having read the author's back catalogue to be reunited with Juno, Phoebe and Felix is absolute fabulous! The mystery at the centre of the book foxed me until the very end and unfolded in a very natural way. I really hope there is more to come from the Village Detectives. An entertaining read!' Reader Review 'A brilliant beginning to a new series. Reading a book written by Fiona Walker is like visiting an old friend. Lots of good memories and wanting to make more. Can't wait for the next "Village Detectives" book. Delightful, enjoyable read.' Reader Review
