WHAT THE MONKS LEFT BEHIND: Thoroughly Inconvenient Deaths

A delightfully wicked British cozy mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.When Sir Gerald Pembrook returns from an estate sale with a trunk nobody else wanted, his wife Harriet expects the usual, another collection of old books, a great deal of dust, and several weeks of Gerald disappearing into his study with his magnifying glass.She does not expect a medieval manuscript with something hidden in the margins.She does not expect the manuscript to matter, urgently, dangerously, to several people with very different reasons for wanting it.And she does not expect to find Professor Aubrey Lisle, Gerald's oldest friend, dead in the study on the second morning of his visit.What the Monks Left Behind is the third book in the Thoroughly Inconvenient Deaths series - cosy mysteries set in the English countryside, where the villages are charming, the gardens are immaculate, and the body count is, frankly, unreasonable. Lady Harriet Pembrook did not ask to become an investigator. She keeps a notebook. She accumulates observations. She does not guess.She concludes.For readers who love a traditional English village mystery packed with dry British humour, clever historical puzzles, and a cast of characters who are considerably more dangerous than they appear.Buy What the Monks Left Behind today and discover why, in Pembrook, even a five-hundred-year-old secret is not safe from Harriet.
