Peril in the Parish
by Dorothy Cannell

Secrets, mystery and wedding bells at Dovecote Hatch!

March 1933, Dovecote Hatch, England. Florence Norris knows she has found a good man in George ‘Birdie’ Bird, the landlord of the local pub, The Dog & Whistle. They are set to marry in a low-key service at the parish church in their beloved village Dovecote Hatch. But when a mysterious stranger seeks out George, sharing family secrets and talks of an illegal burial years ago, an ominous dread falls over the happy couple.

Soon they are pulled reluctantly into this mystery that uncovers unpleasant truths in this idyllic English village. Will Florence and George have the beautiful church wedding with they so long for, or will this mystery stand in the way of them walking down the alise?

Genre: Cosy Mystery

Reviews

“Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey in Florence's second case, a charming reminder of all the country house murders of Britain's golden ages”

Kirkus Reviews on Death at Dovecote Hatch

“Cannell offers an Agatha Christie–like whodunit with touches of Olde World England and a soupçon of romance. With a multistranded plot, strong characters, and echoes of Rebecca, this mix of romance and crime will appeal to a wide range of readers.”

Booklist on Murder at Mullings

““Downton Abbey fans will pick up on the tone immediately: imagine the ever-reliable Mrs. Hughes narrating a mystery. Stepping away from her long-running Ellie Haskell series, Cannell has created a fascinating and leisurely paced historical, excelling at period details and class distinctions.””

Library Journal on Murder at Mullings

“A strong cast of village characters and an intricate plot will keep cozy fans turning the pages”
