Description

From the authors of the best-selling series CHERRINGHAM

Sussex, England, 1929. Mydworth is a sleepy English market town just 50 miles from London. But things are about to liven up there, when young and handsome Sir Harry Mortimer returns home from his diplomatic posting in Cairo, with his beautiful and unconventional American wife, Kat. No sooner have the two arrived, when a jewel robbery occurs at Harry’s aunt’s home - Mydworth Manor. The police are baffled and overwhelmed with the case. But Harry and Kat have an edge in the hunt for the dangerous culprit: not only do they have certain useful "skills" they’ve both picked up in service of King, President and Country, they also have access to parts of English society that your average bobby can’t reach ...

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

    I love reading cozy mysteries but this is my first time reading about a married couple solving mysteries together. It was interesting and loved the banter between the them.
  • Great era and setting.

    I enjoyed the somewhat fast paced story. It was fun and I really like both the era and the setting. The couple seem to be fun people. Enjoyed this novella a lot.

    Loved this book. Reminds me of the old movies of the 1930s and ‘40s.
