Meet Flora Steele - bookshop owner, bicycle-rider, daydreamer and amateur detective!

Sussex, 1955: When bookshop owner Flora Steele goes for a walk along the pier she isn't expecting to spot a young woman's body in the stormy waters below. And she's shocked to discover the victim is someone she knows...

Convinced the death was not an accident, Flora persuades attractive local crime writer Jack Carrington to help her find out what really happened to poor Polly Dakers, a popular young woman with a complicated love life, who'd been at the heart of village life in Abbeymead.

Jack is reluctant to get involved in another murder case at first but even he can't deny that Polly's fall seems fishy. An argument at a party, a missed hairdresser's appointment and a red woollen bobble found on the wooden boards where Polly last stood provide a trail of clues...

As they grow closer to solving the puzzling mystery, the unlikely pair stumble upon several surprising secrets about those closest to Polly. A number of potential suspects begin to emerge. But who really disliked Polly enough to kill her? Was it Raymond, her jilted first love? Harry, her latest beau? Or Evelyn, Harry's jealous estranged wife?

As the investigation brings them closer to the truth, Flora is intent on unmasking the killer - but will her stealthy sleuthing lead her down a dangerous path?

An utterly delightful cozy crime novel set in the fictional Sussex village of Abbeymead. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Joy Ellis!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bestselling author Merryn Allingham was born into an army family and spent her childhood on the move. Unsurprisingly, it gave her itchy feet and in her twenties she escaped an unloved secretarial career to work as cabin crew and see the world. The arrival of marriage, children and cats meant a more settled life in the south of England, where she’s lived ever since. Having gained a PhD, she taught university literature for many years and loved every minute of it. What could be better than spending one’s life reading and talking about books? Well, writing them perhaps.

Six Regency period romances followed, then those itchy feet kicked in. The Regency was abandoned and Daisy's War, a wartime trilogy, found its way to the top of the Amazon charts, followed by the Summerhayes books—a saga of romance and intrigue set in the Sussex countryside during the summers of 1914 and 1944.

But itchy feet never rest and in 2020 she finally went over to the dark side! The crime series, the Tremayne Mysteries, is set in locations around the world and features Nancy, a feisty 1950s heroine, turned amateur sleuth.

Light cozy mystery

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 11 November 2021

The first book was entertaining, and I was eager to read the next installment in the series. Murder on the Pier works pretty well as a standalone, though it can be a little confusing to remember all the characters.
The flow is decent, and so is the storyline. Flora is an amateur sleuth, and it shows. However, she’s got a brain and uses it well (at least half the time). There’s slight progress on the personal track, which is artfully woven into the main plot.
The sleuthing is interesting, and I could guess the killer halfway through. Since I don’t mind guessing it right, I was still curious to know how Flora and Jack would come to the conclusion. My once ruse is that the book didn’t feel as charming as the first one. It’s good, but not what I’d call great. Still, I’ll be reading book three and hoping that it would be set in Cornwall.
To sum up, Murder on the Pier is a light cozy mystery and works as a great timepass read.
Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 15 December 2021

When I read the first book of the author featuring Flora Steele & Jack Carrington, I had an expectation mismatch. It was a cute story in nice settings book lovers will enjoy, but the sleuthing felt amateurship. ‘A cozy crime novel’ as the description says at the end is absolutely the right categorization for this book though – it is a gentle & charming story with likeable characters in Flora & Jack.

In the first book, there is a dead man right in Flora Steele’s “All’s Well” bookshop in Abbeymead. This time it is a young lady – Polly Dakers found dead in the waters off the pier. There is nothing to suggest foul play and most, including law enforcement, assume it is case of an accidental fall or even suicide, but most likely the former. Flora is not convinced though, and decides to dig deeper with Jack (a novelist). There are a number of characters who Flora meets, and finds that Polly was in the midst of a complex circumstance. There is Raymond – who loves hers, there is Harry – who she is currently dating and is cheating on his wife Evelyn, a night club owner Frank Foster, each of them and others seemed to have things to hide.

I did have some inkling of who the (unexpected) murderer would be, but the book does well to keep the suspense till the end. The plot is not very sophisticated but it is a very relaxing read (also good for teens).

My rating: 3.75 / 5.

Entertaining Historical Cosy Crime

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 November 2021

Verified Purchase

Flora Steele enjoys life in the village where she grew up. After her parents were killed she was taken in by her beloved Aunt Violet and together they moved to Abbeymead where they eventually ran a bookshop together. It has been almost a year since her aunt passed away and finally, after a few hiccups, which included the discovery of a dead body, business is good.

After solving a murder a few months earlier, Flora, and her partner in crime deduction, author Jack Carrington, are taking their young friend Charlie Teague to Brighton as thanks for his assistance. Things don't go quite as planned and by the time they return home another murder investigation is looming after they discovered a dead body during their visit.

This is the second in the Flora Steele Mystery Series and is just as entertaining as the first. Set in 1955 almost all technical gadgetry is none existent, Jack doesn't even have a telephone! I enjoy mysteries set in the recent past, of which this is an excellent example, and I recognised a few new items my mum had when I was young!

The murder and subsequent investigation was laid out very well with numerous suspects and even though I worked it out quite early on I still enjoyed being proved right! There is the basis here for a long running series which I hope will come to fruition.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. I thoroughly enjoyed this very entertaining cosy crime novel.

Another mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 March 2022

Enjoyed this second book in the series and look forward to the next one. Like the blooming relationship between Flora and Jack as they investigate the crimes. Jack saved Flora from the same fate as the victim Polly who they knew and was trying to find who killed her. The mysteries are good and I try to find who did it before the reveal at the end of book. A good few hours and an easy read will reread them

Good cozy mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I loved this second book of the series - cozy without the 'sleaze'. As per the first book, I guessed the culprit early on but have to say Flora was beginning to annoy me, almost becoming bossy in her behaviour with the lovely Jack who quietly does the right thing in calling in the Police! I am not sure I shall follow them to Cornwall...maybe Flora will be reigned in a bit before then....please.

I love these books & the characters are wonderful. This book is very hard to put down as it's not at all easy to guess who the culprit is! Great story, I can't wait for the next ones in this series!
