  There’s a fine art to murder… 
  Hal Mulberry has long dreamt of owning the iconic painting, Buttermere at Dawn. And now the entrepreneur has got his hands on it, he’s determined to bring it back to the Lakes where it belongs and put it on show, turning Penrith Village Hall into a cultural hotspot – with the painting at its heart. 
  Journalist Jason Brazel is delighted to get the exclusive. Even if his mother in law, Amita, thinks he’s making a fuss about an ugly piece of modern art. But when Amita uncovers a theory that the painting is cursed, she wonders just what Hal is bringing to their door: hex, hoax or dirty-deal? 
  While the great and the good gather for the unveiling, someone’s got murder on their mind. And it’s up to Jason and Amita to find who is trying to put people out of the picture … permanently. 
  The Village Hall Vendetta is a top-notch mystery that blends elements of satire, detective thrillers, and humorous fiction. Set in a cosy domestic setting, this book is a testament to Jonathan Whitelaw's ability to craft compelling narratives. 
  For fans of Hannah Hendy (A Terrible Village Poisoning), Peter Boland (THE VANILLA KILLER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Victoria Walters (Murder at the Summer Fete), Richard Osman (The Bullet That Missed), and Penny Blackwell (Murder at the Bonfire).

  "Murder, con games, and assassination in 1901 Washington state with the President's life on the line. Ms. Meredith writes another taut and tightly plotted thriller in the Spokane Clock Tower series, one not to be missed!" — New York Times bestselling author William H Keith 
    
  In this sequel to Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker, we're once again transported to Spokane, 1901. A body discovered in Hangman Creek looks to be the result of an accidental fall, but what begins as a "simple" mystery for Thomas Carew and his twin brother Bernard quickly becomes a lot more complicated, including implications that tie in with the bombings at the Idaho mines, and perhaps even President McKinley's planned visit. 
    
  It's been one month since the events of the first book, and readers will enjoy engaging once again with the full cast of quirky characters, from Archie and Marian to Thomas and Bernard, with a couple new faces thrown in. Those familiar with Spokane will love the entangled web that takes them from Hangman Creek to the Campbell House and the Montvale, ensuring that this story couldn't be set anywhere but Spokane, Washington. 
    
  Cupboards All Bared is Book 2 in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries.
