'Deliciously British... This cozy didn't just charm me, it recruited me... I laughed, I gasped... I devoured it... Can't wait to see where the "Piddlington Gazette" goes next.' NetGalley Reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Series Setting

The start of a hilarious British cosy crime series set in Dorset, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, The Reverend Richard Cole and Ian Moore!

Plot Overview

It's all kicking off in Piddlington Minster... Harry Hedges is a desperate man. Desperate to be a journalist again. Desperate to pay off his overdraft. And desperate to find a decent coffee. In a paper cup. With a lid on. There's not much chance of that in Dorset, where he's trying to revive an ailing weekly newspaper and claw his way back to journalistic civilisation, after losing his swanky London job. All he has to do is take on the town busybody, locate his proprietor's lost sister, and help solve the mystery of the body on the roundabout. How hard can it be? With a news-team that includes a Gen-Zer with a secret, a truculent pensioner and a flea-ridden Labrador, the answer is: very hard indeed...
