    Pantomime season has arrived in the brand new hilarious cozy murder mystery from Fiona Leitch.  
    'Murder and mayhem are rarely this enjoyable. Another fantastic entry in this brilliant series that solidifies Leitch as one of the very best and funniest writers around’ Jonathan Whitelaw 
    ‘A wonderful seasonal romp’ Ian Moore 
    It’s Christmas in Penstowan, and local amateur dramatics group the Penstowan Players are putting on their annual pantomime.  
    This year it’s ‘Aladdin’, and half the town have been drafted in to help, including Shirley Parker, who only has a small part in the chorus but will no doubt upstage everybody, and Tony Penhaligon, who’s treading the boards as the baddie, Abanazar. Ex-Metropolitan police officer turned caterer Jodie Parker has managed to get away with not appearing, but only if she agrees to cater the opening night party. 
    But it’s not just terrible jokes, quick costume changes and backstage chaos that wait in the wings… When the Widow Twankey (otherwise known as Tim, the mayor’s husband) trips over a corpse lying next to Aladdin’s bloodstained magic lamp, it’s time for Jodie and her partner, DCI Nathan Withers, to find the killer. 
    Was it the genie of the lamp or an overly harsh theatre critic? Or does someone in the Penstowan Players have a dark secret they will do anything to protect? 
    ‘Funnier than panto, more warming than a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie and completely gripping. Fun, festive and full of red herrings and clever clues, it's the perfect Christmas treat’ Andreina Cordani, author of The Twelve Days of Murder 
    ‘A fun read to curl up with by the fireside this Christmas’ Debbie Young, author of Death at the Village Christmas FairPraise for Fiona Leitch

    ‘Highly entertaining cosy murder mystery to add to a fantastic series’ ★★★★★ 
    ‘The perfect combination of festiveness and crime’ ★★★★★ 
    'The cozy small-town setting, quirky characters, and theatrical chaos made it the perfect read for Christmas’ ★★★★★ 
    ‘A fun and cozy read for the Christmas season’ ★★★★★ 
    ‘An absolute joy to read… I read it in a day and highly recommend’ ★★★★★ 
    ‘I really love this cozy mystery series’ ★★★★★ 
    ‘Love the humour in this… this whole series is a pleasure to read’ ★★★★★ 
    'Another brilliant adventure in this always excellent series’ ★★★★★ 
    'Leitch crafts a Cornwall that I want to live in – vibrant, funny and dripping with mystery and mayhem. Brilliant’ Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives 
    ‘A terrific summer read… a thumping good whodunnit; this is a murder mystery that wears a flower in its hair and invites us to kick off our shoes’ J.M. Hall 
    ‘The book equivalent of catching up with your favourite old friends over a glass of wine or three… the observational humour is spot on’ Jo Middleton 
    ‘[A] fun, feel-good factor and an intriguing mystery to be solved. And pies. I loved it’ Stephanie Austin, author of the Devon Mysteries series 
    The Cornish Christmas Pantomime Murder is the latest in Fiona Leitch's series of humorous thrillers. Set during the holidays, this novel is a must-have for fans of culinary mysteries and festive stories. 
    For fans of Peter Boland (DEATH OF A WILD SWIMMER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Dee Macdonald (A Body in the Village Hall), Clare Chase (Mystery at Farfield Castle), Katie Gayle (Murder in the Library), and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett (A Swarm of Butterflies).

    When the theft of a purse from a stroller results in an infant's death, two teenagers are in trouble. Unaware of the enormity of their crime, Zipp and Andreas are intent on committing still another. They follow an elderly woman home, and Andreas enters her house with his ever-reliable switchblade. Motionless in the dark, Zipp waits for his friend to come out. 
     
     
     
    Inspector Konrad Sejer and his colleague Jacob Skarre see no connection between the infant's death and the reported disappearance of a local delinquent. And so while the confusion in the world outside mounts, the chilling, heart-stopping truth unfolds inside the old woman's home. 
     
     
     
    Unflappable as ever, Sejer digs below the surface of small-town tranquility in an effort to understand how and why violence destroys everyday lives. Another brilliantly observed, precisely rendered psychological mystery from the highly acclaimed Karin Fossum.

    Struggling writer Wren Lee hasn't slept properly in eighteen months. Not since the car accident that derailed her entire life. The night she still can't fully remember. So when she receives a surprise inheritance from her estranged grandfather, a house in rural Virginia seems like the escape Wren desperately needs. 
     
    But the grand mansion she arrives at is nothing like she hoped. From the moment Wren arrives, something feels wrong. A strange lullaby echoes through the maze-like hallways at night and Ruth, the housekeeper who still sets a place at dinner for a dead man, watches Wren with an intensity that goes beyond protective. Unwelcome and unsettled, Wren is determined to uncover the house's secrets, starting with the forbidden east wing... 
     
    Then the storm hits, and Wren is trapped with no way out. To survive, she'll have to confront not only the darkness in these walls but the buried truth about the night that broke her. Because in this house, the past doesn't stay buried. And neither do its ghosts.
