Bookshop owner and amateur detective Flora Steele teams up with handsome crime writer Jack Carrington to unravel a curious murder in the village of Abbeymead!

Sussex, 1956: When Flora and her partner-in-crime-solving, Jack, arrive at the charming church of St Saviour’s the last thing they’re expecting to find is the curate, Lyle Beaumont, lifeless on the flagstone floor beneath the belltower, with a mysterious note in his hand.

Flora is dismayed to find the poor curate dead. But she can’t help being intrigued by the eclectic mix of bell ringers present at the old church – Mr Preece, the local butcher, Dilys Fuller, the busybody postmistress, and Stephen Henshall, a newcomer to the close-knit community. Any one of them could be the culprit – and Flora needs to act fast before someone gets away with murder…

When Flora and Jack begin their sleuthing, they quickly realise all is not what it seems with the victim, and the certainty of the dead man’s identity becomes the first twist in the investigation.

Just as they’re getting closer to the answer, the death of one of the suspects changes everything. As a series of unexplained accidents unfolds across the village, it seems no-one who was present at the church on the night of the curate’s demise is safe.

Has the bell tolled on Flora and Jack’s detective days? And will they work out the truth in time to save themselves?

A completely addictive 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.

A comfort read

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 21 November 2022

The book works decent as a standalone, but I recommend reading at least one of the previous works to have a better idea. Book 4 should be enough if you don’t want to read them all from the first.
I love that the plot is compact and fits within 250 pages. The book starts slow but gains momentum after the first 25%.
The book is also set in November (which is a little too cold in Abbeymead). It’s a good way to feel the full impact of the weather and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and warm muffins.
The plot is simple enough, as it is usually in most books of the series. Flora and Jack talk to people, gather information, investigate, discuss the suspects and continue to deal with their daily life issues.
The climax is cleverly done. It is a little different from other books and brings a refreshing change. Also, it’s good to see Inspector Ridley have a bigger role in this book.
The ending upped the intrigue by 10x. I feel the next book has high stakes. It’ll be interesting to see how Flora and Jack handle the past, present, and future.
To summarize, Murder at St. Saviour’s is an entertaining and comforting read if you like cozy mysteries with a touch of danger.
Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture, for the eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.

I loved this book, as I have the previous books in this series. This one really keeps the reader guessing though, as to who the murderer is, very thrilling. I just love how the friendship between Jack & Flora has grown too, such a lovely series of stories.
