Murder. Mayhem. A madcap lady vicar. Have you met The Reverend Annabelle Dixon? Annabelle is the charming, slightly gauche, very tall, thirty-something vicar of St. Mary's Church located in the picturesque village of Upton St. Mary in Cornwall, England. She is beloved by her parishioners for dispensing good advice and godly wisdom with humor and charm while zipping her Mini Cooper around the country lanes and attempting to build a relationship with her church cat, Biscuit. As Annabelle faithfully ministers her quaint parish, trouble follows her. Instead of tea and cakes, she is regularly served a heaping plate of murder and a fine helping of handsome Inspector Mike Nicholls. This box set contains the first four mysteries in this bestselling series: Death at the Café: With a nun accused of murder, and armed only with a note, a disappearing dart, vague hints, and a love of cake, Annabelle must gather the clues, pacify a detective, and find the real perpetrator before both she and her friend wind up in jail. Murder at the Mansion: Recently appointed to her rural church position, trouble arises when she faithfully welcomes a new resident to her quaint parish and finds herself in the midst of a deadly murder case and a village full of gossip. Body in the Woods: When a young boy is running home through the woods, he finds a bone: a forearm to be precise; a human forearm. This discovery sets in motion the reopening of a cold case that Reverend Annabelle Dixon, it seems, simply can't leave alone. Grave in the Garage: When her car breaks down, Annabelle stumbles upon a gruesome scene at the Mildred's Garage. The tenacious vicar is soon embroiled in yet another mystery along with the stalward, logical Inspector Mike Nicholls. Thank goodness for the puppy! Start the Reverend Annabelle Dixon cozy mysteries, a series you won't want to put down!

A brand new female vicar. An accident-prone nun. Two friends. Two killings. Annabelle and Mary are best friends. But when one gets framed for murder, can the other one save her? Assigned to St. Clement's Church in an inner-city borough just outside Hackney in London, Reverend Annabelle Dixon brings an enthusiasm and drive to her clerical position that baffles her mentor, Father John, but which soon gains her fans and admiration. Annabelle is not your typical vicar, but her strengths prove to serve her, and those around her, very well. When she plans to meet her longtime friend, Sister Mary, a Catholic nun visiting from West Africa, at a local café, little does she know that she will soon find herself embroiled in a mystery of deadly design. Their meeting place is awash with horror, with Sister Mary standing in the middle, shaking, her hand over her mouth and a dead woman at her feet. Armed only with a note, a disappearing dart, vague hints, and a love of cake, this quick-thinking, quick-footed holy woman must gather the clues, pacify a detective, and find the real perpetrator before both she and her friend wind up in jail. Part Sherlock, part Father Dowling, Annabelle is a new kind of detective - one who sees the truth in the most unlikely places. If you love solving puzzles, then this suspense-filled, endearing, cozy mystery is just for you. Enjoy following our amateur sleuth as she careers around London. It will have you guessing until the very end! Included in this book are recipes for: Cherishable Cherry Blossom Cupcakes Cherubic Chocolate Caramel Bars Jubilicious Jam Turnovers Teresa's Surprise Cake Interview with the Creator of the Series Q - So, what makes the Reverend Annabelle Dixon series special? A - Annabelle. When I set out to write these books, I wanted to create a series that featured a heart-warming, smart, sometimes ditzy, ultimately good protagonist that we all undisputedly adore. It is Annabelle - her humanity, her empathy, her big heart - who makes the series so special. With her sometimes partner, sometimes antagonist, Inspector Mike Nicholls, they create some fun and drama as the small town mysteries unfold with humor and intrigue. If you enjoy the TV series, The Vicar of Dibley, Miranda, or Midsomer Murders, I think you will enjoy the Reverend Annabelle cozy mysteries. Q - In what order should I read the books? A - The Reverend Annabelle Dixon cozy mysteries can be read, and enjoyed, in any order. The prequel, Death at the Café is set in London and takes place a few years before the rest in the series. If you do want to read them in order, I'd suggest the following sequence: Death at the Café (prequel) Murder at the Mansion Body in the Woods (coming soon) Q - Why should readers give these books a try? A - Because the Reverend Annabelle series is a gentle, but colorful romp through the beautiful English countryside in a place that is picturesque and peaceful on the outside but one filled with amoral and snobbish eccentrics with all kinds of vices on the inside. Annabelle is a fun, uncomplicated character who is soulful, devout, smart, and funny with penchant for cake. Both Jamie and I feature many English countryside rituals, institutions and customs in these stories. Ultimately, readers who enjoy gentle pacing with a plot that twists and turns, features much fun, drama, quintessential Britishness, and small town murder, will get a kick out of this series. It will make you laugh and you will, I hope, become invested in the characters, rooting for them to come out on top.
