Hurlingham House school is a high-achiever's heaven, full of happy, hard-working pupils. There's just the small matter of the dead body on the field... Sounds like a case for Epiphany Bloom! When Epiphany Bloom's best friend's sister Claire is accused of trading exam papers for money, Epiphany agrees to see Ms Peters, the headteacher of Claire's fiercely competitive school, to provide moral support. Claire has always been a model student and is loudly protesting her innocence: surely it's all just a misunderstanding. But when Ms Peters hears about Epiphany's previous sleuthing exploits, she enlists her help to track down the true culprit! Taking a job as a PE teacher, Epiphany soon realises she has plenty of suspects for the exam scam mastermind. The broke young teacher with a shady past? The father willing to buy his daughter anything - including grades? The school governor desperate to keep Hurlingham House at the top of the ranks? Then Epiphany finds one of them dead at the school fair, and it becomes clear someone is taking the cut-throat culture of the school too literally - and when mysterious accidents start happening around her too, it seems the killer knows she's onto them. Can Epiphany solve the murder as well as clearing Claire's name, before she becomes the next victim? This is one test she can't afford to fail... A charming and totally addictive cozy mystery with a hilarious and warm-hearted heroine. A must-read for fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.

The Museum Murder

Dastardly deeds, daring deceptions and a dress to die for... Epiphany Bloom is back on the case! Epiphany 'Pip' Bloom, would-be detective and London's unluckiest woman, finds herself in a real costume drama when she unearths a theft at a fashion museum. The missing dress is a proper piece of Hollywood history, worth a fortune. And as Pip investigates, she finds the museum staff all had reasons to want the garment gone. From fancy boutiques to sketchy back alleys, Pip discovers the fashion world is not all glitz and glamour as she hunts down her prize. As if she doesn't have enough on her plate, Pip also has her growing feelings for her housemate Tim to contend with, a family of cats to feed and her mother keeps phoning about a shipment of llamas arriving any day now from South America. But there's no time for distractions because Pip's not the only one after the dress. And for the most dedicated collectors, a piece like this is worth any price - even murder...
