About this title

Synopsis

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Ellie always finds herself into some kind of mess. Can’t stop reading this good series.’ Clemmie

Award-winning author Dorothy Cannell serves up a delectable English cozy murder mystery . . . to die for.

Before her beautiful bouncing babies came along, Ellie Haskell’s life was a fairy tale. Marriage to the gorgeous super-chef Ben was going swimmingly before every day was filled with nappies, bottles and laundry.

Determined to revive her love life, Ellie joins a new local ladies’ group, Fully Female, which promises to restore some oomph back to her relationship by way of a Peach Melba Love Rub.

But before long, things start going fatally wrong in the charming village of Chitterton Fells.

First, one of Ellie’s new friends from the group is electrocuted in her own bathtub. Then Ellie gets a call from another group member. Her husband has fallen to his death in their boudoir at a rather inopportune moment . . .

One death could be an accident, but two is decidedly suspicious. Can Ellie save her marriage without falling foul of the curse of these femmes fatal?

Find out in this utterly charming English cozy murder mystery perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Rhys Bowen, Steve Higgs and Richard Osman.

MEET ELLIE HASKELL
Our heroine is a rather fabulous interior designer (if she says so herself), living in the top flat of a tumbledown Victorian house in leafy London with her snooty cat, Tobias Feline. She has some dear friends (who more than make up for her ghastly family) and her only desires in life are to lose a few pounds and meet an eligible — and nice! — man. How hard could that be?
