You like sharp, witty dialogue and a cast of characters who feel like people you'd actually want to spend time with.
You appreciate mysteries that don't take themselves too seriously but still deliver genuine intrigue and clever plotting.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer dark, gritty crime fiction with high stakes and morally compromised protagonists.
You want a mystery that relies on forensic detail and procedural accuracy rather than character charm.
You're looking for a standalone novel rather than the first in a series.

About this book

Retired librarian and bookshop owner May Morrigan lives in the affluent village of Blackheath with Fletcher, her longtime friend, and her two dogs. May has a keen interest in murder cases, and she is far from an ordinary elderly woman. When a church volunteer and a local butcher die under suspicious circumstances, May and Fletcher begin investigating. They eventually partner with a young journalist to look into a missing girl case and its potential connection to earlier unsolved crimes. May becomes absorbed in the investigation, hoping to finally encounter a murderer firsthand.
