If it was made into a film could you please do auditions in Scotland because I am English but I live in Scotland and I would love to audition for Daisy!!!
I hope it will be one day! I can’t control auditions or casting but if it was made, I would hope that Hazel and Daisy would be fans! A Spoonful of Murder is a perfect book for me. Not only am I a retired educator who meets with colleagues regularly over coffee or a meal, but I am a huge cozy mystery fan. As the story starts, we meet Liz, Pat and Thelma, retired teachers and former colleagues of St. Barnabus’s Primary School. They meet up each week to gossip and catch up with each other. One week they bump into Topsy, another ex-colleague, and her daughter Kelly Anne. Topsy is in the early stages of dementia and KellyAnne is her caregiver. While the friends chat with Topsy, they sense that there is something not quite right, especially when Topsy shares some disturbing facts. Within a short period of time, KellyAnne shares that her mother has been the victim of financial fraud and has lost all her life savings. When Topsy is found dead in her home the following week Liz, Pat and Thelma suspect that there might be more to her death than meets the eye. Even though her death is ruled accidental, the ladies are sure there is more going on and they nose around and ask questions. Does the fraud have anything to do with the death or possible murder?

When an elderly former colleague suffering from dementia dies, it all seems perfectly understandable that she would have mixed up her pills’ dosages and overdosed. Retired teachers and friends Thelma, Liz and Pam are saddened by Topsy’s death, and would never have thought anything was off about the situation, but a word here and there sets each off into asking questions and poking at situations to find out whether Topsy really did accidentally overdose or was murdered. A fabulous, cozy, mystery story... Wonderful... Absolutely perfect for fans of Richard Osman!' NetGalley ReviewI really hope a company makes the movie, and I would love it if fans could audition to be Hazel, Daisy and their friends! The girls must work together like never before, confronting dangerous gangs and sinister private detectives to solve the crimes and discover the villain - before it's too late.
Poignant and relatable, I want these ladies as my friends!… I enjoyed it very much… Recommend’ NetGalley review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, such a good plot- Hazel being framed! The cover illustration done by Nina Tara is beautiful and it looks very dainty! The title ‘A spoonful of murder’ reminds me of the Mary Poppins song ‘A spoonful of sugar’! I just showed my mum the cover and she loves the colour and so do I! Congratulations on a new book!
Christmas Cards & Gift Wrap
the three main protagonists were super fun to read and so unique from one another that I felt as if I had been friends with them for ages!! thelma is strong and the natural born leader, pat is the worrier and the more practical of the bunch, and liz is the heart of the group and definitely appealed to me the most. This is a charming and enjoyable cozy mystery! It gave me the "Thursday Murder Club" vibes with the England setting, main characters of a certain age, and of course, murder. It took me a bit to really get into the story but I was invested by the end. If you have paid attention so far, I've become a huge fan of novels with main characters over 50. Thanks for replying! I would love to get Mistletoe and murder now but I’m going to wait til Christmas to get the SPARKLY edition now!
Great Deal
