SOME SECRETS ARE TAILOR-MADE FOR MURDER.
Packed with razor-sharp British humour, rich seaside atmosphere, and a fair-play mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page, Dead Men Tell No Tailor is the ultimate cozy escape!
A dead billionaire on the fitting room floor.
A missing spool of rare teal silk thread.
A village where everyone has a motive—and the local tailor is the only one who notices the fatal flaw.
Arthur Finch didn’t move to the picturesque Cornish coast to play detective. He fled London to escape high-stakes corporate law, 80-hour workweeks, and a burnt-out spirit.
Inheriting his late uncle’s heritage tailoring shop in Polwenna was supposed to be a peaceful second chance—a quiet life of bespoke suits, ocean breezes, and steaming cups of Earl Grey.
Then Giles Pemberton-Clarke—the ruthless property tycoon who spent six months threatening to demolish Polwenna’s historic harbour—walked into Arthur’s shop for a fitting... and collapsed dead onto the hand-woven rug.
The local police call it a sudden heart attack. Case closed. But Arthur spent fifteen years spotting the tiny, buried inconsistencies that ruin corporate fraud schemes. And as he looks down at the body, one tiny detail screams foul play: the top horn button on Giles’s bespoke jacket has been freshly re-stitched with a rare, discontinued teal silk thread.
A spool that was locked in Arthur’s private workroom just two hours ago.
Someone used Arthur's own shop to set a lethal trap. Now, to clear his name and protect the town, Arthur must unpick a tangled web of small-town secrets before the real killer decides to close the shop for good.
Step into the charming, deceptive streets of Polwenna, where every suspect has a seam to hide:
-
The Furious Harbourmaster: Facing financial ruin after Giles tried to seize his family boatyard, he was seen arguing outside the shop minutes before the murder.
-
The Cold-Calculated Widow: She showed up at opening time with fabric swatches for funeral black—two hours before her husband was officially pronounced dead.
-
The Shrewd Business Partner: Set to inherit millions if Giles died before signing their new merger, she has an alibi that’s entirely too perfect.
-
The Fiery Shop Assistant: Moira Pascoe knows every piece of gossip in Cornwall, but why is she secretly hiding a key to Arthur's back room?
Flanked by Moira’s sharp Cornish wit and Thread—a judgmental ginger shop cat who attacks anyone wearing cheap polyester—Arthur trades his chalk and measuring tape for a sleuth’s magnifying glass. But in a village where long-buried grudges run as deep as the sea, digging for the truth is a dangerous craft.
Packed with razor-sharp British humour, rich seaside atmosphere, and a fair-play mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page, Dead Men Tell No Tailor is the ultimate cozy escape!
