A quirky group of seniors attempts to solve one murder while covering up another-with the help of an enterprising tortoise-in this twisty, darkly funny mystery from the author of Three Bags Full.
One murder to solve and another to cover up. It'll be tricky, but the OAP residents of Sunset Hall are going to have a stab at it.
Meet Agnes Sharp, the sweet little old lady with murder on her mind.
Sunset Hall is a house share for the old and unruly, led by Agnes Sharp. It's an eventful day when this group of idiosyncratic seniors gets a visit from the police to inform them of some shocking news. A body has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face, but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one they're currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith). It seems the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into their lap. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbour, so they can pin Lillith's death on them, thus killing two old birds with one stone. To investigate, they will venture into the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with sinister bakers, broken stair lifts, inept criminals and their own dark secrets.
