Murder Mystery chapter sample. CRIMELLA.

A few book blogger ladies kindly asked for a sample chapter from CRIMELLA 1, a not-so-cozy murder mystery novella. So, sent them this, where one of our female sleuths, ex glamour girl Anna Wilde, attends a local tea party. Hope it wins them over🙃Siobhan x

S.C. Cunningham Wow! Thank you 'My Books and Crafts' for this wonderful 5⭐ review for CRIMELLA. Very much appreciated. I was worried my multi-genre feel may be too much for murder mystery lovers. Thank you, thank you, thank you.... and Rachel, for organising the book tour. Rachel's Random Resources

REVIEW for CRIMELLA by S C Cunningham

❗''Okay, if you’re after a murder mystery that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still dishes out plenty of intrigue, this book set in the sleepy village of Nettleacre is a real treat. You’ve got an oddball trio consisting of an ex-glamour girl, a no-nonsense ex-policewoman, and a hopelessly romantic spiritual healer—who bounce off each other brilliantly. They’re always up for a glass of wine, a bit of cheeky banter, and poking their noses where they probably shouldn’t, which makes for a cracking read.

What’s brilliant about this story is how it mashes up cosy countryside vibes with supernatural shenanigans and some great quick-witted chatter. The action rattles along nicely, but honestly, it’s the lovable cast and the gorgeous English setting that really make it stand out. If you like your murder mysteries with a twist and a good laugh, you’ll have a blast with this one—it’s a classic fun and fresh take on the genre. I really enjoyed it! "
My Rating 5 ⭐️ !"❗

message 2: by S.C.

S.C. Cunningham Hello there fellow booklovers, am excited to share that my latest novella, CRIMELLA of the Nettleacre Murders, comes out on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited on 25 11 25.

If you like not-so-cozy murder mystery with a touch of hot chemistry, female sleuths, rogue police, redeeming ex-cons, toxic villains, unseen entities and delicious country village escapism (with lots of dogs, everyone needs a soul-soothing dog!)... it may be something for you. Enjoy!

Siobhan x
