'COSY CRIME AT ITS FINEST!' JANICE HALLETT

'THOROUGHLY MODERN COSY CRIME DONE RIGHT!' JONATHAN WHITELAW

Alice has made the most of her maternity leave, becoming simultaneously a proud mum (well, a mum, at least) and accidental amateur sleuth. When an opportunity to catch up on some much-needed sleep arrives in the unexpected form of an overnight sit-in protest, Alice and her friends willingly volunteer, chaining themselves to trees for a relaxing, child-free evening.



But when they awake to find one of their fellow protestors has been strangled, they are soon caught up in a tantrum of rogue artists, nude protesting (optional) and the machinations of an enigmatic local entrepreneur. With Alice's murder-solving success rate at an all-time high (one out of one), she cannot resist the chance to demonstrate her detectoring skills again, assembling her gang of young mums to investigate this latest countryside mystery.
