Summary
Put the kettle on and discover an utterly charming new cozy murder mystery set in a sleepy English seaside town.
Fiona, Sue, and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can’t believe their favorite customer is dead.
Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand—with a name scratched on it.
When another person is found dead with a domino in their hand, and with the police making no progress, the ladies will need to help unmask a serial killer. At least they have Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.
With plenty of tea and cake along the way, and despite squabbles with their rivals, the Cats Alliance across the street, the Charity Shop Detective Agency is born.
Fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Janice Hallett, Simon Brett, Ian Moore, and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett will adore this exciting new talent in cozy crime.

One of the best
So many things to like about this book, the underlying murder mystery was very well done with lots of twists and turns and a few red herrings along the way. The characters are brilliant with wonderful nicknames and the central characters believable and interesting. The narrator does a brilliant job and has a very listenable voice. All in all of of my favourites in this genre.

Thoroughly entertaining
This book had me chuckling all the way through and is the sort of book you want to stay up late listening to. The characters really make the story, they all have their own idiosyncrasies but are 100% recognisable and brought to life beautifully by the narrator.
The plot moves along at a good twisty pace and is a classic "who done it". I listened with my partner and we found ourselves trying to solve along with the Charity Shop Detectives.

Great story
Loved this, having worked in a charity shop I did chuckle and smile quite a lot. Performance was as always genius! Highly recommend and looking forward to the next instalment.

Great detective mystery story
Lovely detective mystery story. Easy to listen to and understand, loved the idea of old ladies working in a charity shop becoming sleuths!

the humour and cleaver twists. Keep me listening.
How it ended, not a good enough motive for murder. Reasons bakers son to murder were flimsy and child like having taken so long to work out!

Enjoyed it but a little slow
After the Thursday murder club, this book is a bit slower and felt a bit all over the place . Not as many story lines going at the same time, so started to get a little boring. Otherwise cute story of old ladies.
