Murder Among the Marrows

Cozy Word Search Mystery Full of Garden Clues, Village Secrets, and Murder!

When retired headmistress Margery Pemberton arrives at the Little Wickham Summer Show with her tartan thermos, her knitting, and her opinionated corgi, Sergeant, she expects uneven bunting, competitive marrows, and at least one argument about runner bean canes.

She does not expect to find the tyrannical chairman of the Allotment Committee face-down in his prize marrow patch.

In the honey-stone village of Little Wickham, everyone has a grievance, everyone has a theory, and someone has hidden murder among the marrows.

After every chapter, solve a themed word search puzzle drawn from the story’s clues, characters, objects, and atmosphere. Some puzzles hide a clue word that does not appear in the grid. Record the missing words as you read.

When the final reveal puzzle is solved, the killer’s identity is spelled out letter by letter.

Inside you’ll find:

• 50 bite-sized cozy mystery chapters
• 49 themed word search puzzles
• A hidden clue trail that reveals the killer
• A witty older sleuth with a battered tartan thermos and a sharp eye for village nonsense
• Sergeant the corgi, whose investigative priorities include biscuits and children
• A charming Cotswolds allotment village full of secrets, suspects, marrows, and murder

Perfect for fans of Cranberry Creek Word Search Mysteries and Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club.

Sharpen your pencil and see if you can solve the case before Margery does.

A note on shipping: Every book is printed in and shipped from your own country, whether you're in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK. That means no customs fees, no international shipping, and no surprise charges at your door. Postal rates in some countries (looking at you, Canada and Australia) can run higher than any of us would like, but what you see at checkout is truly all you'll pay. If the shipping on your order feels steep, you can also find our books on your local Amazon, where shipping may work out cheaper overall. We'd rather you get your puzzles than have shipping stand in the way.
