Fake tans. Fake smiles. One very real murder.
Former West End dancer Chloe Essex has staked everything on turning the grounds of Essex Hall into a posh business park. The family money’s gone, her father’s no longer well enough to explain where, and the launch party is three days away.
Then she finds her best friend dead in the marquee.
Speckled Hill does the arithmetic in about four minutes. Chloe stood to gain. Chloe found the body. Clearing her name means asking awkward questions, and everyone here has something to hide.
As she stumbles from one glorious disaster to the next, Chloe discovers that solving a murder is considerably harder than learning dance routines. Especially when she’s the prime suspect and her alibi is the shakiest move in her repertoire.
The Only Way is Murder is book one of the Chloe Essex Cozy Mysteries, a humorous British village series with a fair-play puzzle, a marquee nobody will forget and a heroine who can’t leave well alone.
Welcome to Speckled Hill, where the tea is strong, the gossip is relentless and murder is never quite as straightforward as it first appears.
Readers who enjoy Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton and Faith Martin will feel right at home.
