The Murder Mystery Mystery
(2027)(The second book in the Pie & Mash Detective Agency series)
A novel by J D Brinkworth
A murder mystery weekend getaway turns very real…too real for struggling sleuths Simon and Jane in this winning whodunnit from the authors of The Pie & Mash Detective Agency.
Freshly-minted private investigators Simon and Jane are struggling. Their relationship is increasingly tense, and for some reason, no one wants to hire a detection agency run by two graduates of an online course. To raise their spirits, Simon books a weekend at a theatrical murder mystery weekend at an English estate.
But things get off to a bad start. Act One: Simon and Jane are the only ones in costume. Act Two: the ending is spoiled when someone slips a note identifying the culprit under all their doors. But that’s nothing compared to the grand finale: the actor playing the butler mysteriously disappears, less than two weeks after his predecessor died in a freak accident. Turns out, every actor who’s taken on the role has either disappeared, quit, or died. Nervous cast members are starting to call it The Butler’s Curse.
Luckily, The Pie & Mash Detective Agency are on the scene. Will they crack the case of the ’curse’? Finish the murder mystery they paid several hundred pounds to play? And possibly even solve their first murder?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
