A Manor of Life & Death: A Cozy Mystery (With Dragons): 3 (Beaufort Scales Mystery) Paperback – Import, 29 March 2019

Kim M Watt . Kim Watt . English

Warring staff. "Accidental" poisonings. Topiary of dubious intent. Throw in the full complement of the Toot Hansell Women's Institute and dragons doing yoga on the terrace, and DI Adams is starting to wonder if she might have made a small misjudgement signing up for this particular spa weekend in the country. And that's before the dead body in the sauna and the storm that cuts them off from the rest of the world. Now she's dealing with a houseful of guests (and staff) who're looking more suspicious by the moment, fending off protesters wielding table condiments, and trying to keep everyone safe as the storm closes in. She needs to find the killer, keep the dragons hidden, stop the W.I. forming some sort of pearl-and-twinset posse, and try to resist the urge to arrest everyone. And never mind the problem of the invisible dog. Sure. It's going to be a wonderful weekend. A Manor of Life & Death is a feel-good cozy mystery, perfect for those who like their whodunnits served with a generous helping of humour, friendship, and magic. This is the third Beaufort Scales cozy mystery (with dragons) - check out Baking Bad and Yule Be Sorry for more dragonish adventure!

About the Author

Hello lovely people! I’m Kim (she/her), and I write funny fantasies and off-beat cosy (or cozy, depending where you're from) mysteries set in a world not so dissimilar to ours - and in fact sharing many locations. And in this not-dissimilar world you'll find mystery-solving dragons with a strong affection for barbecues and scones, and snarky feline PIs with human sidekicks. You'll run across baking-obsessed reapers running petting cafes stocked with baby ghouls, Apocalyptic riders on Vespas, and women of a certain age Getting Things Done. There may even be the odd born-again troll redefining troll-ness for the modern age about the place. You'll find myth and reality clashing in small and spectacular ways, and discover the healing magic of tea and a really good lemon drizzle cake. But, most of all, there will be friendship, and loyalty, and people of all species looking out for one another. Because these, above all things, are magic. And you can find me rambling on about all this (and more) over on my website (www.kmwatt.com), or join me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for bad puns and many, many cat memes. Many. Come join me!
