Katherine Black

A well-read old dear has an unhealthy interest in murder in this sharp, witty and refreshingly original cozy crime novel.

Retired librarian and bookshop owner May Morrigan lives in the affluent village of Blackheath with Fletcher, her best friend since they met decades ago, and May’s two dogs. What could be more normal? But May is not your average little old lady . . .

After an unpleasant church volunteer and an annoying local butcher meet their untimely ends, Fletcher and May team up to do some sleuthing. Soon, the elderly pair start working with a young journalist to investigate the case of a missing girl and its possible link to previous unsolved crimes. May finds this new project quite intriguing. She’s never met a murderer before—and now she just may get the chance, if they play their cards right . . .

The Most Unusual Mysteries

A Most Unusual Demise

Menacing texts lead to murder in an English village, in this unmissable witty mystery by the Dagger Award–nominated author of A Most Unusual Demise.

May Morrigan is in her bookshop one morning when she—and everyone else in the shop—receives an anonymous text. It contains a reference to a Shakespeare quotation—and seems to be aimed at the vicar and his partner, Juan. The next morning, one of them is dead.

Meanwhile, May’s elderly mother Minty is staying with her, her old friend Fletcher, and her two dogs. To her dismay, Minty is quite preoccupied with death. She also keeps reminiscing about her past in ways that make May wonder what secrets she’s hiding.

As disturbing texts continue to arrive, the Blackheath residents are threatened with further revelations and titillations. Then Fletcher becomes the focus of the tormenting texter, and barely escapes an attempt on his life.

It’s time for May to send a strong message—and block this killer permanently...
