A humourous murder mystery following Fern as she investigates the deaths in her village on the south coast.

Could there really be a murderer in Shadey Cove?

Fern Cassidy owns the local bookstore in a sleepy coastal village where nothing ever happens.

So when the local bank manager is found dead after being investigated for embezzlement, everyone is shocked. When his lady friend and village confidant Aunt Jane is found dead at the bottom of her stairs a few months later, people start talking. When a third death occurs just a few weeks later, Fern decides to investigate.

With her local knowledge, Fern is more than willing to assist when a fatherly police inspector and a rather handsome young detective are sent to investigate the latest body. But no one expects their investigations to lead them into the dark and dangerous world of gangland London.

Romantic attractions aside, can our trio uncover what exactly is going on in Shadey Cove, before anyone else winds up dead?
