Review
"This delightful dark comedy is set in a London that is recovering after the Second World War... Wittily and fluently written, with a neat plot that twists and turns to a satisfying conclusion, A Little Murder is a fine entertainment." (Historical Novels Review)
"Set in the early 1950’s, this is a delightful romp, as Rosy is pulled form her quiet ordered existence into the murky world it appeared that her aunt had inhabited. A further death has everyone twitchy and looking over their shoulder’s, particularly those who have been indulging in a little wickedness! Highly recommended." (Lizzie Hayes Promoting Crime Fiction)
