The Dinner Lady Detectives

A Gravely Troubling Discovery

The truth isn't the only thing that's dead and buried...

Following recent changes to Dewstow's local police force, The Dinner Lady Detectives, Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker have been warned off interfering in investigations. When a body is found under the school playground during building renovations, they have no intention of getting involved.

In need of money for their new website, the pair agrees to help Mrs Redburn, who suspects her husband of infidelity. But when their investigation sends them stumbling into the middle of the playground mystery, it becomes impossible for them to stay out of the police's way.

Can they uncover the truth about Mr Redburn, or will they end up digging their own graves?

A charming British cosy village mystery, perfect for fans of J.M. Hall and Fiona Leitch.

Hannah Hendy lives in a small town in South Wales with her long-suffering wife and two spoilt cats. A professional chef by trade, she started writing to fill the time between shifts.
