Murder at Cranborne Abbey is a wildly
entertaining comedy crime caper that takes you on a rollicking ride through
1990s Devon!
What starts
as a simple job soon spirals into murder, mystery and mayhem…
Chipp and
Pinn couldn’t be more different. Chipp, shaped by a troubled past, is tough,
instinctive and never far from trouble. Pinn, raised in privilege but restless
and rebellious, is searching for something more. Together, they run a
struggling second-hand furniture business in Devon — until desperation pushes
them into the world of private investigation.
Their first
case seems straightforward: recover a stolen watch. But when a mysterious
client invites them to spend the night at Cranborne Abbey, the pair are drawn
into something far more dangerous.
A haunted
abbey.
A missing body.
A conspiracy reaching into the heart of government.
As suspicion
falls on them for a murder they may not have committed, Chipp and Pinn find
themselves entangled in a web of corruption, criminal enterprise and hidden
identities. With a relentless detective closing in and time running out, they
must rely on their wits — and each other — to uncover the truth.
Set against
the richly evocative backdrop of Exeter and Devon in the 1990s, Murder at
Cranborne Abbey is a fast-paced comedy crime caper packed with eccentric
characters, sharp dialogue, unexpected twists, and a musical soundtrack
to accompany the ride.
Blending
humour with mystery and a touch of the absurd, it is the first in a highly
entertaining new series that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly
irreverent.
Featuring a
full-colour map of Devon highlighting key locations from the story, this is the
perfect read for fans of British crime fiction with a humorous edge — and for
anyone who enjoys a mystery that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
