The Potting Shed Murder

About the book

Welcome to the picturesque village of Pudding Corner, where amidst the beautiful dahlias, there is also tragedy...

Daphne Brewster has happily traded the hustle and bustle of south London for the quaint charm of Pudding Corner, a village in Norfolk. Surrounded by fields of gold and green, with a mix of stone cottages, Georgian architecture, and Victorian Gothic houses, Pudding Corner and its neighboring village of Pepperbridge offer a peaceful escape from city life.

While settling into Cranberry Farmhouse with her husband James and their three children, Daphne is aware of being the only Black woman in the area. However, she quickly integrates into the community, earning the nickname 'Vintage Lady' and opening her own shop. As her business flourishes and her family thrives, Daphne discovers that Pudding Corner is not as idyllic as it first seemed, with complex relationships and hidden secrets.

When the headmaster of the local school is found dead in his allotment, a web of scandal and intrigue is unraveled. As rumors swirl around her new friend Minerva, Daphne finds herself drawn into the investigation. Standing up for the marginalized is as natural to her as hunting for the perfect vintage find. But the stakes are higher than she anticipated, as a ruthless killer lurks in the shadows, ready to strike again...

From the creator of Hill House Vintage and ‘Queen of Cottagecore’ (Vogue), a fresh, witty, fun, and delightfully quirky cozy crime novel set in a seemingly sleepy English village for fans of Richard Osman, Parini Shroff, Benjamin Stevenson, and Anthony Horowitz.
