Bob and Shirley's Dead Before Pudding
(2026)(The third book in the Bob and Shirley's Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Suzy K Quinn
Bob and Shirley run a lovely country pub. They also solve murders ...
A warmly funny, gloriously British murder mystery series that can be read as standalones or part of a series. Set in an idyllic English village where the Sunday roasts are legendary, the pub offers a warm welcome and the plum pudding is worth dying for.
Charles is dead. So why does he keep coming to the pub?
Angry rich man, Charles Crow, died last winter – a heart attack after consuming three large slices of roast beef, a pile of crispy potatoes, cauliflower cheese, buttered carrots and gravy. Sadly, his untimely death meant he missed his favourite course: traditional plum pudding with double cream.
Now, mysterious ‘Charles-like’ things are happening around the village. ‘Charles’ is visiting Bob and Shirley''s pub, buying pudding ingredients and returning library books. There are lights on at his estate at the dead of night and a bell ringing from his private chapel. Charles has also been seen in the pub garden, filling in a crossword.
In Great Oakley, it seems not even death can keep a man from his pudding.
★★★★★ "I love these books! They are so witty, the characters are addictive and the puzzles are as good as any golden age classic. Love it! Next one please!" - Graham Bartlett, crime author and former Detective Sergeant
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janet Evanovich, British murder mystery books and village whodunits with extra helpings of humour and warmth.
