The Village Detectives and the Deadly Brew

The BRAND NEW instalment in the laugh-out-loud Village Detectives mystery series from MILLION COPY bestseller Fiona WalkerAt this brewery, the last orders are to die for…When handsome, former-rugby-playing pub landlord Mil asks Juno Mulligan for a favour, she immediately says yes. After some initial disappointment, when she discovers that the favour doesn’t involve any sort of romantic shenanigans, she’s reminded that she does love investigating mysteries. And perhaps it is just her destiny to choose crime-fighting over afternoon-delighting?It’s an interesting case too.

Mil needs Juno and her fellow Village Detective, Phoebe Fredericks, to investigate a targeted campaign against his friend Ashleigh Wyche, the former-Lioness who now run the local Wyche Craft Brewery.

A series of recent near-misses and attempts at sabotaging her property are surely no coincidence?Then a body is discovered in the tap room, which quickly proves they were right to suspect there’s more than just a vendetta brewing… And if they’re to prevent another murder, they need to find out if they’ve got the bottle to hunt down another killer…Readers love The Village Detective series:Engrossing… Reminds me of a cross between the Agatha Raisin TV series and Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books, both of which I love.
