Bestselling Dorothy Cannell, hailed by Nancy Pickard as ‘America’s P.G. Wodehouse’, offers up a delectable cozy murder mystery . . . to die for.

Amateur sleuth Ellie Haskell gets caught up in the drama of a trio of ancient spinsters — something wicked this way comes . . .

Ellie hasn’t thought of ‘the bridesmaids’ in years. Rosemary, Thora and Jane: her grandmother’s cackling and downright witchy BFFs. But they remember her.

They write to summon Ellie to their cobwebbed house in the sleepy village of Knells, Cambridge. Ellie’s grandmother Sophia has something she needs to tell her. So far, so heartwarming . . .

Except that Sophia happens to be dead.

She passed when Ellie was just a baby. But Sophia’s always been the black sheep in their family. Is she really dead — or laying low at the bridesmaids’ place?

Ellie drives to Knells in search of answers with her saucy, gin-loving housekeeper in tow. When she finds a hidden diary, dropping dark hints about a mysterious death, she knows she’s onto something big . . .

Can she piece it all together in time to stop the killer — or is this the end of the road for Ellie?

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