Bunburry - Deadlier than Fiction

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

In "Deadlier than Fiction”, amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister enjoys his volunteer work in Bunburry’s community library, set up in the mansion of the formidable Miss Radford-Jones. The library is home from home for eleven-year-old Noah, an Agatha Christie fan who sees murder round every corner. At first Alfie dismisses this as a child’s overactive imagination - but then he himself is attacked. Could young Noah be right after all?
