The Little Black Book Killer

The Village Detectives, Book 3

The third charming instalment in the page-turning cosy mystery series from MILLION COPY bestseller Fiona Walker, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janet Evanovich and Rev. Richard Coles!

Matchmaking has never been so murderous…

Juno is feeling ready – at last – to start dating again, after losing her husband some years ago. She is sure she can make time from being a Village Detective, indeed it might help distract her from her crush on hunky (but far-too-young!) pub landlord – Mil.

So she’s signed up to an exclusive new dating app and cannot wait. But when one of the founding investors in that same dating app drops dead in front of fellow Village Detective Phoebe in a nearby hotel – and then a second investor is found hanging in the local cricket pavilion just days later – Juno knows she’ll have to put her love life on hold.

Teaming up once more with Phoebe, Felix and Mil… the Village Detectives are back. And this time Juno – who’d thought she was getting under the covers with a new lover – is going undercover to catch a killer…

Wickedly funny cozy crime, from million-copy bestselling author Fiona Walker! Fans of The Thursday Murder Club and A Death on Location will love the Village Detectives!

Delightful Storytelling

Love all the characters in this series. I can relate to all the antics of the 90s and remember all the music references. Love the narration with the sound effects of middle aged people throughout the tale. Makes listening come to life in your imagination.

Village Detectives with gloss and wrinkles

I love the narrative , the disruption and drama of small town life with, and by two protagonists; Phoebe and June.

Boring

The plot is slow to develop and the narration is utterly monotone. I would give it a pass.
