8Murder. Mayhem. A madcap lady vicar with a case for sweets...
Meet Reverend Annabelle Dixon... Charming, slightly gauche, very tall, this thirtysomething vicar has just been appointed to the pastoral St. Mary's Church, in the picturesque village of Upton St. Mary, Cornwall, England.
Annabelle is beloved by her parishioners for dispensing holy wisdom with humor and charm. She spends her days zipping her Mini Cooper around the country lanes, seeking out new caf s and bakeries, while attempting to win the finicky attention of her church cat, Biscuit.
As Annabelle faithfully ministers her quaint parish, trouble seems to follow in her footsteps. Instead of her beloved tea and cakes, she is regularly served a heaping plate of murder. Now if only she could have a second helping of handsome Inspector Mike Nicholls . . .
This digital box set contains the first four mysteries in this bestselling series:
