Little Firling Mystery
Little Firling Mystery
Every village has its secrets. In Little Firling, some of them kill
Nestled among Cornish cliffs and cobblestoned lanes, the picturesque village of Little Firling looks like the perfect place for tea, gossip, and quiet evenings by the hearth. But behind the bunting and lace curtains lurk shipwrecked ledgers, vanished heirs, stolen jewels, and neighbors who know more than they say.
With retired professor Annabel Lennox Deighton, her spirited friend Evie Barnes, and Persephone the ever-watchful cat, these atmospheric mysteries blend charm, wit, and danger in equal measure. Cozy yet layered, witty yet laced with menace, the Little Firling series is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M.C. Beaton, and Richard Osman — or anyone who believes even the coziest villages have shadows.
Every village has its secrets. Little Firling has a body.
Retired professor Annabel Lennox Deighton finds a corpse by the cliffs and a cryptic notebook that points to a shipwreck, a missing ledger, and a century-old lie. With Evie—and Persephone the very determined cat—she peels back coastal gossip and buried history. A cozy, coastal whodunit where old secrets surface.
