Bonfire of the Calamities - a Cozy Mystery (with Dragons)

By Kim M. Watt
Bonfire of the Calamities - a Cozy Mystery (with Dragons) by Kim M. Watt digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A body.

A theft.

A good cause gone bad …

 

Miriam has never seen eye-to-eye with her sister. But when a body's dumped on the doorstep of a Women's Institute meeting and all signs point to Rainbow, Miriam knows her sister's being framed. Rainbow might be monumentally irritating, but she's no killer.

 

Going to the police would be the smart move, but even without the damning evidence on hand Rainbow's got her own reasons for avoiding them. Before long she's on the run, trusting to Miriam and the W.I. to clear her name. The killer's left nothing to chance, though, and Rainbow's in more danger than she realises - and she's dragging the others right in with her.

 

Between rogue wildlife, clothing-optional informants, and Rainbow's own team of obstinate rebels, the W.I. are in a desperate race to dodge the police and dig up the truth. But Miriam's not backing down. Not this time. This is family, and she's going to see this case through. Not even the dragons can stop her.

 

The killer might, though …

 

 

 

A funny cozy mystery (with dragons), for anyone that likes their mysteries British, gentle, and well-stocked with cake, tea, and friendship. And dragons, obviously.
