THE MISSING RED CARPET MYSTERY

DISCOVER YOUR NEW FAVOURITE AMATEUR SLEUTH SERIES. A QUIRKY MURDER MYSTERY SET IN A SLEEPY SOMERSET TOWN. 

Meet the workers of Kingsleigh Costsave. There’s Bea, a maths whizz with a heart of gold. Ant, a hapless high-school drop-out. And wisecracking Dot, in her late fifties and always beautifully coiffed. 

A royal visit is planned for the sleepy town of Kingsleigh. This is definitely worth rolling out the red carpet for! The only problem is, no one’s actually seen the red carpet since the grand opening of the deli counter back in 2001 . . . 

Our loveable amateur sleuths and supermarket workers are on the case. Ant is looking for the carpet, but Bea and the rest of the team have another problem on their hands — a young lad is spotted shoplifting. New security guard Evan gives chase down the high street. 

Later that day, the boy is found dead. The town is horrified, it’s sixteen-year-old local tearaway Harley.  

Evan swears he let Harley go after rugby tackling him in the park. So how did he end up dead? 

Bea knows Evan would never hurt a fly. But if he didn’t hurt Harley, who did? 

The Supermarket Sleuths must catch a killer and clear an innocent man’s name. 

AN ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING COZY MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS AND LOVEABLE CHARACTERS. 

If you love Richard Osman, Janice Hallett, Peter Boland, the Reverend Richard Coles and Ian Moore, prepare to be enchanted by this cozy character-driven mystery!
