Thirty-one years behind the counter taught her to read the outside of everyone’s secrets. Larkspur House is about to test how well she reads the inside of one.

Iris ran the Nether Wilmslow post office for three decades, and her till balanced to the penny every single day of it. Retirement was never the plan, until her son arrives with a brochure for a honey-stone manor house and an orthopaedic surgeon’s opinion about her knees. Larkspur House turns out to have a garden, a conservatory, and a small, watchful community of residents who notice a great deal more than anyone gives them credit for.

When a piece of returned mail turns out to matter more than it should, Iris finds herself doing what thirty-one years at the counter trained her to do without meaning to: noticing what does not add up. Four friends. One murder. Nobody expects them, which turns out to be exactly the advantage they need.

The Tuesday Post Club opens The Larkspur House Mysteries, a series of senior-sleuth cozy mysteries where the people everyone has stopped noticing turn out to be the only ones paying attention.

Perfect for readers of warm, witty cozy mystery, English village charm, and fair-play puzzles solved by the sleuths a killer would never suspect.
