The Widows' Guide to Murder
A Completely Gripping And Charming Cozy Mystery
by Amanda Ashby
read by Diana Croft
Part 1 of the Widows' Detective Club series
p>Ginny Cole doesn't want to be a widow. She'd rather not be forcibly adopted by an opinionated black cat. And she'd give anything not to have just found the murdered body of her rude and dislikeable new boss…
So she's as surprised as anyone to realise that she doesn't hate being on the wrong side of the law, searching a graveyard for evidence in the company of three fellow widows, and doing a whole host of un-Ginny-like things in order to solve a fiendish mystery.
It was a bumpy start, but Ginny might even be starting to like her new life. Certainly well enough that when her sleuthing puts her too close for the killer's comfort, she'll do whatever it takes to hold onto it…
If you love Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Robert Thorogood and The Thursday Murder Club mysteries, you'll adore this charming cozy mystery full of page-turning twists and endearing characters.

by Amanda Ashby
read by Diana Croft
Part 2 of the Widows' Detective Club series
When librarian Ginny Cole discovers a body in Little Shaw's beloved haberdashery shop, she finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation. The victim? Arrogant shop owner and spring fete judge, Timothy Harlow, found with a pair of sewing scissors plunged into his back. While the police are quick to arrest Milos, a charming young upholsterer, Ginny thinks the case has been sewn up too neatly.
Together with her friends – no-nonsense JM, craft-obsessed Hen, and irrepressible Tuppence – Ginny delves into the village's secrets. Between apologising for her kleptomaniac cat and making marmalade for the spring fete, she discovers that behind Little Shaw's quaint façade lies a tapestry of rivalries, affairs, and deadly ambitions. And when her own car brakes are sabotaged, Ginny realizes the killer is still at large – and getting closer.
With help from the widows and an increasingly exasperated Detective Inspector Wallace, can Ginny unpick the clues before the murderer strikes again?
A fun, fast-paced mystery full of small-town charm, perfect for fans of Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Robert Thorogood and The Thursday Murder Club series.

The Widows' Guide to Last Orders
A totally irresistible cozy mystery
by Amanda Ashby
read by Diana Croft
Part 4 of the Widows' Detective Club series
Life in Little Shaw is as nice as pie for librarian Ginny Cole. She's got a tentative truce with her grumpy neighbor Detective Inspector Wallace, and Sunday quiz nights at The Lost Goat with her friends (team name: The Merry Widows). Until the young quizmaster is found dead in the cellar. The police call it an accident; Ginny suspects murder. But with Wallace strangely impossible to locate and convince, she and the other widows must step - carefully, mind - into the breach.
The victim, it turns out, wasn't just torturing locals with impossible trivia. He was hunting for his great-aunt who vanished from Little Shaw in 1963, along with what village gossips insist was a fortune in Cold War secrets. Now Ginny and her friends must decode a sixty-year-old mystery involving priest holes, spy scandals, and the competing egos of the local history society.
But when the killer strikes again, the widows need to solve this fast before someone calls last orders on them...
A brilliantly twisty cozy mystery perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Robert Thorogood and anyone who thinks retirement should come with a side of solving murders.
