THE CHARITY SHOP DETECTIVE AGENCY

Peter Boland

Put the kettle on and discover an utterly charming new cozy murder mystery set in a sleepy seaside town.
Fiona, Sue and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can't believe their favourite customer is dead.

Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand - with a name scratched on it.

When another person is found dead with a domino in their hand, and with the police making no progress, the ladies will need to help unmask a serial killer. But at least they have Fiona's scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.

With plenty of tea and cake along the way, and despite squabbles with their rivals, the Cats Alliance across the street, the Charity Shop Detective Agency is born.

This is the first book in a cosy crime series, for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett, the Reverend Richard Coles, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Ian Moore, Lucy Worsley and Simon Brett.

PETER BOLAND: After studying to be an architect, he realised he wasn't very good at it. So he became an advertising copywriter, the highlight of which was creating an ad featuring Raymond Briggs' The Snowman... He then tried his hand at writing his own stories and quickly realised there's no magic formula. You just have to put one word in front of the other (and keep doing that for about six months). Peter Boland was longlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award 2021 for his previous John Savage (thriller) series.
