What to expect

Bloomsbury presents 10 Marchfield Square by Nicola Whyte, read by Nneka Okoye.

‘Oozes charm, wit and bloody murder’ JONATHAN WHITELAW, author of THE BINGO HALL DETECTIVES
‘Beautifully unguessable ... bursting with life ... brilliant!’ ALEX HAY, author of THE HOUSEKEEPERS

Audrey Brooks loves people. She even loves clearing up their messes - which is lucky, as she works as a cleaner. The only thing more satisfying than making a new acquaintance smile is shifting a particularly stubborn stain.

Lewis McLennan finds people irritating. Especially people like Audrey. His writing career is in the toilet and he hates his day job. His closest relationship is with his coffee machine and, frankly, he likes it that way.

The only thing they have in common is that they both live in the smallest square in London. And that one of their neighbours is currently lying dead on his kitchen floor.

The police think the victim's wife did it. Their landlady, Celeste, is having none of that. And so a very unwilling detective duo is born. In theory they have the skills to find the real killer - if they don't kill each other first. But should they be looking closer to home? After all, how well do you know your neighbours?

The perfect mystery for fans of Tom Hindle, Janice Hallett and Kristen Perrin.

**Audrey, Lewis and Celeste return in MURDER LIKE CLOCKWORK**

Critics Review

A hugely impressive debut that’s cosy and classy in equal measure. A super-smart and delightful mystery that teases out the secrets of an entire neighbourhood
Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal
I just loved 10 Marchfield Square. Clever, funny, ingeniously constructed – and what a cast! The mystery is gripping and beautifully unguessable, the characters are bursting with life, and the square itself is drawn with such subtlety and love. Brilliant!
Alex Hay, author of The Housekeepers
This is cosy crime with gentle humour and an ensemble cast who seem destined to continue their investigative sideline … and that’s brilliant news
Good Reading Australia
Whyte crafts a brand new kind of cosy mystery that leaps off the page and keeps you thinking throughout . . . A proper cosy whodunnit that oozes charm, wit and bloody murder
Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives
10 Marchfield Square is an utterly delightful mix. Whyte writes with both cool wit and warm charm, and combines a charismatic cast of eccentric characters with a properly knotty murder mystery. This book is a real winner for anyone who wants a crime novel with a Golden Age feel but modern sensibilities. More please
Alice Bell, author of Grave Expectations
An ingenious cosy crime novel
Women's Weekly
What sets this book apart is its perfect blend of accessibility and substance. The pages turn easily, but the story lingers, making it an ideal summer read that doesn’t insult your intelligence. A stellar debut.

This was an impulse purchase whilst browsing and did not disappoint. The characters were likeable and the twists and turns very well done. I did sort of guess the resolution but there was more than I had worked out. My only niggle was the strange pronunciation of 'dogs's' home using the 2 s sounds. It might be a regional thing I am unaware of but it is Battersea Dogs' Home to me. Its only a tiny niggle but these things can jar in the audio format. Otherwise I enjoyed it very much.
