Hardy Haul at Hardy Hall
(2024)(The first book in the Teddy Quillfeather Mystery series)
A novel by PJ Fitzsimmons
Fast-living, fast-thinking, and faster-acting flapper Teddy Quillfeather gets her own golden-age mystery series.
The theft of an immensely valuable, immensely ugly necklace is only the beginning of the intrigues and idiosyncrasies of a country weekend at Hardy Hall where Teddy Quillfeather’s mother has sent her with strict instructions to select an eligible bachelor from a shortlist of aristocrats, plutocrats, and copycats.
But when Teddy sets out to discourage the suitors and discover the looters with her natural knack for applied shenanigans she instead uncovers countless conspiracies, complicated by country house courtesies. It’s a comedy of manners and caper of manors and the only solution, if you’re Teddy Quillfeather, is obviously another heist…
This series starter is a clean, clever cosy that will appeal, obviously, to readers of Anty Boisjoly but also PG Wodehouse, Agatha Christie, and Dorothy L Sayers, and above all to those who like a little or, ideally, a lot of comedy in their cosies.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
