What Rhymes with Murder

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Only Murders in the Building meets The Thursday Murder Club in this hilarious new take on cosy crime.

'I loved this charming story about murder, motherhood and caffeine. Frida is a delight; a quirky and modern Miss Marple.' SARAH BAILEY, author of The Housemate

When exhausted new mother Frida attends Baby Rhyme Time at the local library, she feels a sense of purpose that has been lacking in her anxious, apartment-bound, sleep-deprived life. But at the end of the session a piercing scream is heard, followed by the thump of a body, and the library becomes a crime scene.

Before long, Frida finds herself part of an unlikely group of sleuths investigating the murder. Between gossip and cups of magic at their local cafe, they are too busy having fun to realise how close they are to danger . . .

'Sharp, funny and sneakily profound.' VIKKI PETRAITIS, author of The Unbelieved

'Murder, mystery and sharp takes on motherhood, all threaded into a great domestic noir. Oh, and it's a hoot!' MATTHEW SPENCER, author of Black River
