Dormice, Schemers, and Misdemeanours: A Contemporary Cozy Mystery

Book excerpt: Village murder. Unsolved mysteries. An empty-nester longing for a quiet life. What could possibly go wrong? So many secrets, so many schemers, So many lies and misdemeanours... Event organiser, Megan Fallon, is gearing up for a concert in honour of the oldest tree in the county: the ancient village oak on Bliss Bay's village green. What she’s not gearing up for, though, is stumbling over the dead body of Bliss Bay’s most unpopular villager, under the oak tree's sprawling boughs. With a murder investigation underway, a mystery that has everyone looking like a suspect, and a cat that needs a new home, there’s also the small matter of the theft of forty-eight garden gnomes to get to the bottom of… Will you guess who, and why, before the big reveal? This is a clean, contemporary, cozy mystery with characters who'll stay with you long after you've finished reading. It contains no graphic violence, language, sex, or cliffhangers. Fans of Agatha Frost, HY Hanna and Steve Higgs may like this cozy mystery, written by mystery author Sherri Bryan using British English spelling and terminology.
