“A country house, a body in the library, a cast of dodgy wedding guests, and a prickly, dog-loving sleuth… Simply delightful!”
– Vaseem Khan

Retired actress Guinevere ‘Gwinny’ Tuffel is finding life hard after inheriting her late father’s run-down home and discovering she’s broke. But Gwinny’s delighted to be at her best friend Tina’s country house, for Tina’s wedding to a handsome Italian business magnate… until the husband-to-be is found dead in the library and Tina is accused of the murder.

Convinced of her friend’s innocence, Gwinny must piece together the truth and uncover the real killer from a pool of larger-than-life suspects, who all have something to hide… while also looking after Tina’s expensive saluki dogs!

“A tail-wagging, wet-nose delight of a book! A clever whodunit with plenty of clues, red herrings and misdirection”
– Fiona Veitch Smith

“A fun, witty page-turner and if Dawn French doesn’t play Gwinny in the TV series, there is no justice in the world”
– Ian Moore

“Cosy crime, dogs, and a fabulous heroine to root for in Gwinny, what more could a reader ask for? A fantastic read”
– Hannah Hendy
