‘Witty and knowing.’ Diamond Dagger Award-winner Simon Brett OBEFive fiendishly twisty whodunnits. One sleepy seaside town. And a gang of sassy senior sleuths who like their mysteries as they like their tea: strong, complex and sweet enough without the sugar . . .Welcome to Southbourne: the charming little coastal town that has it all — golden sands, tea shops galore . . . and an alarmingly high body count!For Fiona, Daisy and Partial Sue — the trio of retired ladies who volunteer at Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop — this place has always been a peaceful sanctuary. They won’t stand by and let it go to the dogs. (Though better the dogs than the cats.)When their favourite customer is murdered in cold blood, the ladies decide enough is enough. Sarah Brown was a harmless eighty-something who loved bingo and rummaging for bargains. Who on earth would want her dead?And so, the Charity Shop Detective Agency is born. Some may call them busybodies. But armed with sharp wits, sharper tongues, and an endless supply of tea and cake, this unlikely gang of sleuths are determined to uncover the truth — whether the police like it or not.Wherever the ladies go, trouble is sure to follow! Whether they’re shopping for suspiciously sweet treats or spectating at a dog show, dipping their toes into wild swimming or strolling by the beach huts. But if anyone can sniff out a killer — between solving jigsaws and scoffing lemon drizzle — it’s Fiona, Daisy, Partial Sue . . . and one very scruffy terrier named Simon Le Bon.Settle in with a cuppa — and prepare to binge five utterly delightful mysteries in one unbeatable-value box set!Fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood, Janice Hallett, Simon Brett, Ian Moore and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett are sure to be enchanted from the first page to the final twist!**Over 10,000 5⭐ reviews for the series!**READERS LOVE THE CHARITY SHOP DETECTIVE AGENCY:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Blooming marvellous . . .
