Review:
I loved the first book in this series and this second instalment has lived up to all my expectations. I listened to the audiobook with was wonderfully narrated. Clear and easy to follow with a real warmth to the narration that brings the characters to life.
Although following on from the first book I feel that this would work well as a standalone. Any really important connections are explained again which helps. (Of course you could just go out and get both so you don’t have to worry)
May seems a little more subtle in this book but she remains a formidable force. Between her and Fletcher there is always a drama and adventure to keep you on your toes. The introduction of May’s mother Minty had me in stitches throughout- when I am old I want to be just like Minty (and May - without the murders)
A colourful cast of characters, secrets, comedy and cozy crime - everything you need for these cold winter nights.

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...
