The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
(2025)(The first book in the Marigold Cottages series)
A novel by Jo Nichols
'Superlatives can't do this delightful novel justice. Simply put, it's the most charming, heartfelt, and funniest mystery I've ever read' Katy Hays
Mrs B, landlady of the Marigold Cottages, only rents to favoured tenants, and they're an eccentric (read: odd, slightly broken) bunch. There's anxious playwright Sophie, agoraphobe over-sharer Hamilton, single mum and sculptor Ocean, perfectionist Lily-Ann, and the ever-mysterious Nicholas. Life in the cottages is peaceful though, until hulking, fresh-out-of-prison Anthony moves in and a dead body turns up.
Anthony is arrested and Mrs B, convinced of his innocence, promptly confesses to the crime herself. Horrified, her tenants band together to clear her name, forming the somewhat haphazard 'Marigold Cottages Murder Collective'. But as they dig deeper and a second body is discovered, further secrets are unearthed.
Can this motley collection of amateur sleuths solve the case before one of them becomes the next victim?
'By turns funny, smart, and cozy, fans of Agatha Christie and Kat Ailes will whip through this one' Catherine Mack
Genre: Cozy Mystery

Praise for this book
"Superlatives can't do this delightful novel justice. Simply put, it's the most charming, heartfelt, and funniest mystery I've ever read. Readers of Richard Osman rejoice--your new obsession has arrived! If I could live in the witty, just, and sundrenched world Jo Nichols has created, I wouldn't hesitate to call the movers tomorrow." - Katy Hays
"The residents of Marigold Court have one, small problem--a dead body was found in a hedge and one of the residents is accused of killing him. Nothing brings a disparate group of people together like a murder! They decide to unite to solve the case and hopefully save the property from the shady land developer who wants to tear down their community. Not in their backyard! By turns funny, smart, and cozy, fans of Agatha Christie and Kat Ailes will whip through this one." - Catherine Mack
