About the book:
Natalka and Edwin are running a detective agency in Shoreham, Sussex. Despite a steady stream of minor cases, Natalka is frustrated, longing for something juicy to come their way. Then a murder case arrives on their doorstep - local writer Melody Chambers is found dead and her family area convinced it’s foul play. Edwin, a big fan of the obit pages, thinks there's a link to the writer of Melody's obituary who predeceased his subject. The trail leads Benedict and Edwin to a slightly sinister writers' retreat. When another writer is found dead, Edwin thinks that the clue lies in the words. Seeking professional help, the amateur investigators turn to their friend, detective Harbinder Kaur, to find that they have stumbled on a plot that is stranger than fiction.
