The Curse of Crooked End
(2026)(The first book in the Armitage Hump, Private Famous Detective series)
A novel by Anthony Grace
The first cozy mystery in the Armitage Hump: Private Famous Detective series of satisfying short reads. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Caimh McDonnell and Bob Mortimer.
One eccentric detective. One persistent journalist. And a curse that can never be broken.
Constance Snoot has been cursed to wander the streets of Crooked End whilst asleep, leaving a trail of chaos in her wake.
Enter Armitage Hump: celebrated detective, genius problem-solver, and master of madcap methods. Alongside him is Molly Coddle, a young journalist willing to risk everything for a front-page story. Together, they must untangle a mystery that’s as peculiar as it is dangerous … and uncover secrets that nobody could ever have imagined.
Brimming with wit, warmth, and curious characters, The Curse of Crooked End is a delightfully funny cozy mystery about unlikely friendships, small-town secrets, and the fine art of solving crimes in very unusual circumstances.
Note to reader - this is not a complex whodunnit. Nor is it a mind-boggling mystery. It's just a bit of fun. Light-hearted, fast-paced, and utterly ridiculous. An enjoyable read for a pleasant afternoon. So, if you like fun, and ... erm ... bits, then this is the book for you. And all for the price of a travel-sized tube of toothpaste. Hooray!
