Bob and Shirley's Guide to Murder
(2026)(The first book in the Bob and Shirley's Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Suzy K Quinn
Bob and Shirley run a country pub in Britain’s safest village. They also solve murders ...
An outrageously funny, gloriously British murder mystery that can be read as a standalone or as part of a series.
For cozy mystery readers who like their hot chocolate with a splash of brandy.
Landlady, Shirley Duffy, is an outspoken missile in leopard print who says what everyone else is thinking. Her husband Bob is a quiet genius who runs the hardest pub quiz in the country and has an Excel spreadsheet for everything, even Shirley. A long marriage has made them surprisingly good at solving murders.
‘Murder? In our quiet, little English village?
Great Oakley is a place of hanging baskets, tearooms and riverside walks. We’ve won ‘Britain’s safest village’ 10 years running. I keep three pound coins, a box of toffees and a bottle of Pepto-Bismol on my dashboard at all times, and I’ve never needed to lock my car.
Certainly, Bevvy Tuck was disliked. She ran the local Waist Watchers group, yet came to our pub for fish and chips, treacle tart and a bottle of Chardonnay every Friday. But I don’t think she was murdered …’
When Bevvy Tuck is found dead in the Goose and Gander pub garden, with an empty treacle tart plate beside her and several dress sizes slimmer than anyone remembers, Great Oakley’s winning streak as Britain’s safest village comes to an abrupt end.
★★���★★ ‘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 M.C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin, Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club, Terry Pratchett and Janet Evanovich. British murder mystery books and village whodunits with extra helpings of humour and attitude.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
