by Kitty Kildare

A 1920s British cozy mystery filled with secrets, scandal, and a murder close to home.A new year has arrived in the quiet London suburb of Hampstead, and The Fox and Fiddle pub, owned by sleuth and journalist, Veronica Vale, is bustling with laughter, music, and village gossip. But the celebration turns tragic when barmaid Lillian Harrow is found dead in the pub’s garden. With her sharp tongue and a habit of knowing everyone’s secrets, Lillian made as many enemies as friends. And one of them just silenced her.

For Veronica, the murder is personal. The Fox and Fiddle was her late father’s pride and joy. As whispers spread through the village and the police search for easy answers, Veronica and her loyal dog Benji dig deep into the lives of locals who would rather stay hidden.

Meanwhile, her dear friend Ruby is embracing motherhood with her new baby, Grace, but even happiness can’t keep danger from creeping close to home. When another threat surfaces, Veronica must act fast to protect those she loves and uncover the truth before a killer strikes again.

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Jacqueline Winspear, and Carola Dunn, Death at the Fox and Fiddle serves up a perfectly poured pint of mystery, heart, and old-fashioned British intrigue.
