Description
It's a perfect location for... murder
When sisters Jennifer and Lizzie Christie inherit their aunt's dilapidated B&B, in the beautiful Lake District village of Lupton Water, the only thing they have in common is how much they hate their housemate, a Declan Moss.
The two of them fell out thirty years before, and now they're mid-life, mid-menopause, and about to be mid-disaster. And not just because Jennifer's cat Clementine and Rose's dog Gizmo have taken an instant dislike to each other.
But when Declan's body is found in the bathtub, the sisters are top of the suspect list. Can they and their pets bury the hatchet long enough to find out who the killer is? Or will they become the next victims?
The first in the Christie Sisters Mysteries series, perfect for fans of MC Beaton and Faith Martin.
Praise for Katie Marsh:'Mystery and intrigue. This talented author has written a cannot put down whodunit.' Reader review
'Clever and twisty, I loved how each of the main characters used their strengths to get closer to the killer, and it's laugh out loud funny. I thought I'd worked out whodunnit and then was proved sort-of right and also wrong. The ending is a great mix of drama and hilarity, and I'm already looking forward to the next one.' Reader review

Person
Katie wrote five romantic fiction novels before turning to crime. Her debut, 'My Everything' was a World Book night pick, and her books are published across ten countries. She lives in the English countryside with her family and loves coffee, puzzles and pretending she is in charge of her children. Her move into crime was inspired by her own bumpy arrival into midlife, complete with insomnia so severe that she once forgot her own name. Her crime debut 'How Not to Murder your Ex', was inspired by the friendships that helped her to get back on track.
