EVERY TRICK IN THE ROOK an absolutely gripping British cozy murder mystery (Birds of a Feather Mysteries Book 3)
By Marty Wingate
If you love twisty whodunnits or birdwatching, then you’ll love the Birds of a Feather Mysteries.
A romantic getaway. A shocking murder. There’s a fox in the henhouse in Smeaton-under-Lyme . . .
Meet Julia ‘Jools’ Lanchester. Lover of fine wines, sweet birdsong — and solving mysteries!
Life is good for Jools and her beau Michael. They’re loved up and have finally found the time for a romantic weekend away by the coast. Ah, bliss.
Until they’re summoned back to their quaint village of Smeaton-under-Lyme.
Jools’s ex-husband has been found bludgeoned to death in Hoggin Hall’s deserted summer house — and a witness statement leaves Michael as the prime suspect!
The press is having a field day, and it doesn’t take long for the village to turn against him. In a bid to protect Jools, Michael disappears, but now she’s a sitting duck for the real killer.
Jools is determined to prove Michael’s innocence. Even if it means putting herself in the flight path of a vicious predator . . .
If you love Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club, Simon Brett or The Marlow Murder Club, then don’t miss this stunning new series from a USA Today bestselling author!

MEET YOUR NEW FAVORITE SLEUTH
Thirty-something Julia ‘Jools’ Lanchester is so ready to fly the nest! After her mum’s death and her dad’s hasty remarriage to Beryl — the oh-so-elegant spinster next door — she can’t bear to stick around her childhood home a moment longer. Jools quits her job on her dad’s hit TV show, cuts her hair and moves out to the sleepy little Suffolk village of Smeaton-under-Lyme. She lands a new job, managing the quaint and largely deserted local tourist centre. She only wants a quiet life in the stunning English countryside, far, far away from her family drama. But it’s not long before her fly-by-night father comes breezing into the village, bringing trouble straight to her door . . .
