The Losers Club Collection : Losers Club Murder Mystery Books 1-3
Digital box set of the first three murder mystery books from the Losers Club series.
The Losers Club – Book 1
Mumsnet recommended Summer read 2022 with over 700 five-star Amazon reviews.
There’s a murderer on the loose on a storm swept island cut off from the Scottish mainland. It’s down to Losers Club, a quirky weight loss group led by the intrepid Penny Moon, to catch the culprit.
Local Hero meets the Thursday Murder Club in this light-hearted and fun murder mystery which will keep you guessing
When Old Archie the postman is shot and ends up in Mrs Hubbard's ice cream freezer, the whole island is aghast. Especially Mr Hubbard, who objects strongly to having to move all the ice lollies into the other freezer.
Newly divorced and desperate to make a life for herself and her teenage children, Penny Moon arrives on Vik just in the nick of time, before the island is cut off by a storm.
Her weight loss business doesn't have the best of starts, when a series of blunders leads to it being called Losers Club. However, it does have the best of people - a decent, disparate bunch who decide that, with the police unlikely to arrive any time soon and a murderer on the loose, it is down to Losers Club to investigate.
As they dig deeper into the mystery, they uncover a dark secret, kept by the older islanders for almost half a century. A secret that has come back to haunt them and threatens their very existence.
The Laird’s Ladle – Book 2
Oh dearie me, the remote Scottish island of Vik is overrun with treasure hunters, Hollywood has arrived to film the next big blockbuster and Mrs Hubbard has accidentally poisoned Police Scotland. What a stramash!
When Colin the curator is found bludgeoned to death in the museum, it’s down to the island weight-loss group, Losers Club, to investigate. Following in the footsteps of Colin, the Losers Club friends find themselves hunting a lost Jacobite treasure and unravelling an international conspiracy. Who are the mysterious secret keepers, who killed Colin and what terrible, terrible thing has Gordon done?
The Angels’ Share – Book 3
Tensions are rising in the run up to the island event of the year - the Vik Show. Not only has the secret recipe for Mrs Hay’s peppermint slices been stolen, but someone has had the bad manners to leave a dead body in the distillery. And what does any of this have to do with the disappearance of Elsie the librarian?
A perfect storm of past secrets and political conspiracy is brewing, and it’s up to the local weight-loss group, Losers Club, to save the day.

About the author
Yvonne Vincent
37 books93 followersI’m the bestselling author of the Losers Club murder mysteries, a Scottish crime series featuring the questionable decision-making of a weight-loss group determined to outwit the police, and the directness of every Aberdeenshire mam ever.
The series has attracted thousands of reader reviews, been optioned for TV, and Game of Trust was shortlisted for the Comedy Women in Print Prize.
I also write the soon to be released DI Hunter Deed series, set in Aberdeenshire, where the crimes are darker and the investigation is considerably more professional. But aye, there’s still a dollop of Scottish humour in there.
Away from murder, I’m the woman behind the Facebook blog Growing Old Disgracefully and the Hear Me Roar podcast and stage show.
I live in the North East of England and can frequently be found roaming the local parks, shouting for my two Jack Russells escape artists. I have a slightly obsessive brain that gobbles up everything it needs to know on a subject then moves on, which can lead me down some interesting rabbit holes when I’m researching my books. If you ever need to know about the history of Argyle socks, I’m your woman.

Brilliant!
I loved these books. So many laugh out loud moments. So many new curse words curtesy of Sgt Wilson. If you think this book is about a bunch of people who want to lose weight, you’d only be a teeny tiny bit right. It’s more about a bunch of different people who live in the made up island of Vik which is a ferry ride from Aberdeen who come together to help solve a murder. They’re a bunch of people who are so different but are there for each other when things get tough. Stroppy teenagers, a busybody shop keeper, a vet and many more laugh out loud,larger than life characters.Theres laughs, loss, celebrity knitting and a fair bit of chaos. There’s 3 books in this box set and I loved every one.

A three book set. Each with a murder mystery. Laugh out loud Hilarious! Language is a mix of English, a little of a local Scots dialect, with a good measure of funny colloquialisms. Characters of three generations. Any and all subjects are spoken of. Just life. No one’s embarrassed. Characters include an elderly maiden librarian, a female sergeant who snarls and swears mightily, a wife and mother who is continually learning a language but always gets the words wrong down to teenage twins. I was hooked only a few pages in.

A really good series
Losers Club is a really good series. It is laugh out loud in bits and keeps you gripped until you find out what happens to the friends.

Really infantile humor, a group of characters who are each crazier than the next, and a pretty outrageously unbelievable plotline. Not for me, thanks. One was enough.
