About this listen

The debut cosy crime novel by cottage-core queen and social-media sensation Paula Sutton, the creator of Hill House Vintage.

Welcome to the beautiful, bucolic village of Pudding Corner, where there's death amongst the dahlias...

Newly arrived in the quaint village of Norfolk's Pudding Corner, Daphne Brewster is glad to be leaving London life behind. As time goes by, and she finds herself in great demand as the village's unofficial Vintage Lady, she begins to acclimatise to this more sedate new way of life.

But when the village school's headmaster is discovered dead, lying face down in his allotment patch, everything changes. His wife refuses to accept a verdict of natural causes, and the village is suddenly ablaze with scandal about 'the potting shed murder'. When the headmaster's influential widow points her finger at Minnerva, Daphne's new friend, the fingers of the village begin to point with her.

As the unjust politics and machinations of power in a sleepy rural village slowly become apparent to her, Daphne decides to clear her friend's name, and begins to investigate...

A deliciously addictive and quirky whodunnit, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's classic murder mysteries, and pulse-pounders by Janice Hallett and Richard Osman.

The first half of the book was really promising. Cosy setting! Then I thought the plot developed too slowly and to me it felt obvious who the murderer was. The solution was a real slow burner too. Not my favourite book but you may like it better than I did!

Slower than I hoped
