A brand new cozy mystery to escape with this Halloween. Perfect for fans of RIchard Osman and Rev Richard Coles. It's (almost) Halloween in Penstowan, and strange things are afoot. When a developer buys the abandoned convent and cottage hospital of St Ann's on the edge of town, locals are aghast at his plans to turn the site into apartments. And when menacing voodoo-like dolls are found hidden inside the walls, it looks like the building's past inhabitants are against it, too. As the town prepares for the annual Bonfire Parade taking place on Halloween night, ex-police officer Jodie Parker finds herself in a world of witches and Wiccans, whispering voices and ghostly babies crying, as she tries to find out who's behind the campaign to stop the development. Then one of the builders is found dead at the bottom of a staircase. Has a spectre from the convent's past come back to take revenge on the living, or are Jodie and her husband, DCI Nathan Withers, looking for a killer of flesh and blood? Praise for the Nosey Parker series 'Murder and mayhem are rarely this enjoyable. Another fantastic entry in this brilliant series that solidifies Leitch as one of the very best and funniest writers around' Jonathan Whitelaw `Highly entertaining cosy murder mystery to add to a fantastic series' ????? `An absolute joy to read. I read it in a day and highly recommend' ????? `I really love this cozy mystery series' ????? `Love the humour in this. this whole series is a pleasure to read' ????? 'Another brilliant adventure in this always excellent series' ????? 'This is a cosy series which is like a hug, I love the main protagonists and the locations' ????? 'The characters are what draw me back to this series, and also the humour' ?????
