Fanny

After a rogue frisbee strikes Fanny Redherring on the head at Lady Honoria Crumb's annual charity picnic, Fanny awakens with two alarming discoveries: Lady Honoria is lying beside her in the conservatory, and Fanny is now absolutely certain she has become a detective.Armed with a tweed jacket, an indestructible sense of self-importance, and an investigative method that includes tasting mud, interrogating drapery, and trusting anything that "smells suspicious," Fanny launches herself into the mystery of Piddlewick-on-Thames.Constable Mildred Plinth would very much prefer that she stop.But when a broken teacup, an oddly spotless shovel, a cryptic note, iron-rich footprints, suspicious fertilizer, and the village's fiercely competitive garden judging all begin to point in different directions, Fanny becomes convinced that only she can uncover the truth.Was Lady Honoria poisoned? Was the bishop's shovel scrubbed clean for a reason? Are the roses hiding something? And why does every clue seem to lead back to the coveted Golden Spade?Absurd, theatrical, and delightfully ridiculous, Fanny is a spoof whodunit for readers who enjoy eccentric village mysteries, comic detectives, and sleuths whose confidence far exceeds their qualifications.
