Review

Warm, smart, and laugh-out-loud funny, Alice Bell has done it again - an absolute joy -- Andrea Mara, No 1 bestselling author of NO ONE SAW A THING

Delightful. The mystery trips you up every ten pages, the characters feel like mates, and it's effortlessly funny - which is so hard to do. I adored this. It deserves to be enormous! -- Stuart Turton, bestselling author of THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE

Claire and Sophie are both hilarious and gut-wrenching, often in the same sentence, and once again Alice Bell has ghosted up a brilliantly puzzling murder. I loved it -- Antony Johnston, author of THE DOG SITTER DETECTIVE

A cracking romp of a read! An engaging and satisfying murder mystery - Agatha Christie meets Ghosts -- J M Hall, author of A SPOONFUL OF MURDER

A deliciously fresh take on the classic locked room mystery - fast, funny and furiously brilliant, Alice's voice jumps off the page -- Sam Blake, bestselling author of THE MYSTERY OF FOUR

A wonderful, hilarious mix of ghost story, murder mystery and an all-too-relatable main character anxiety spiral. I laughed a lot. -- Richey Craven, author of SPIRIT LEVEL

A hilarious, warm and clever mystery. Fair warning - do not attempt to read this on the bus, as you will alarm members of the public when you start snorting with laughter and cannot stop. -- Cailean Steed, author of HOME

A complete pleasure to read, full of witty writing, loveable characters and page-turning twists - CultureFly

Fast, funny and furious, this book has bags of humour, bags of heart and a proper murder mystery at its core... Bell is one to watch. - Janice Hallett on Grave Expectations

A delicious mashup of grisly murder, country house and semi-helpful ghosts... it's a lot of fun. Stuart MacBride on Grave Expectations

Read this fabulous book - you will not regret it. - Ben Aaronovitch on Grave Expectations

Book Description

The delightful follow-up to Grave Expectations. Another playful contemporary cosy mystery, perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Ben Aaronovitch.

About the Author

Alice Bell grew up in South West England, in the sort of middle-of-nowhere where teenagers spend their weekends drinking Smirnoff Ice in a field that also has at least one horse in it.

She is the deputy editor of Rock Paper Shotgun, a popular PC gaming website, and in 2019 she was named one of the 100 most influential women in the UK games industry.

After spending several years in London, Alice now lives in Cork in Ireland. She has probably read more detective fiction and watched more episodes of Midsomer Murders than is sensible. Her debut novel, Grave
