Widows’ Guide to Skulduggery, The: An unputdownable cozy crime novel

When a human skull gatecrashes her friends’ big day, it officially becomes the worst wedding Ginny Cole has ever been to. But as the assembled guests await the police, the two families staring daggers at each other across the aisle, Ginny starts to suspect that these nuptials were deliberately sabotaged. Together with her fellow widows in crime-solving, JM, Tuppence and Hen, she decides to uncover who wanted this marriage dead on arrival.

The police have no interest in a twenty-year-old skull, so Ginny and her friends have free reign to investigate. But untangling a web of family feuds and ancient village rivalries soon escalates into much more when a new body turns up…

The widows have stumbled into a devious plot decades in the making, but can they find their way to the truth before one of them joins the village body count…?

An utterly delightful and gripping cozy mystery full of unconventional characters, fantastic twists and shadowy village secrets. The Widows’ Detective Club is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett and Robert Thorogood.
