Live and Let PieA British Senior Sleuth Cozy Mystery
A deadly pie, a Cold War poison, and a nosy tourist... Betty's new life is a recipe for disaster.
Betty Fletcher has finally traded her MI6 tactical gear for an apron and a rolling pin. Life in the picturesque Cotswold village of Bramblewick is supposed to be quiet — just her, her retired police dog Major, and a peaceful routine of baking sourdough and minding her own business.
But when the annual Bramblewick Village Fête turns deadly and the notoriously loathed pie contest judge collapses face-first into a rhubarb crumble, Betty's quiet life is quickly derailed. The bumbling local constable points the finger at the vicar's flustered wife. Betty knows better — she's seen this kind of kill before.
To make matters worse, a suspicious "tourist" has appeared in town, asking far too many questions about the new baker and her reflexes. With her cover hanging by a thread and a killer hiding in plain sight, Betty must dust off skills she swore she'd buried to clear her neighbour's name before the real culprit strikes again — or before someone from her past decides she's the loose end.

Adelaide Mills
Adelaide Mills writes cozy mysteries that serve up clever puzzles, quirky characters, and just enough danger to keep you flipping pages long past bedtime. Her stories are filled with tight-knit communities, nosy neighbours, unexpected suspects, and heroines who can’t help tripping over clues while trying to keep their lives in order.
Expect twisty whodunnits with a dash of humour, a sprinkle of romance, and plenty of coffee (or tea) to fuel the sleuthing. Adelaide’s amateur detectives are everyday women—librarians, bakers, bookshop owners—who stumble into mysteries and prove they’re braver (and nosier) than anyone expected. When she’s not plotting her next small-town scandal, Adelaide is devouring true-crime podcasts, alphabetizing her bookshelves, and pretending she’d totally survive in a murder mystery herself.
