Death at the Village Chess Club (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781835185629)

With her Curiosity Shop open for business, Alice Carroll is finally settling into life in the picturesque Cotswold village of Little Pride. But then her old life comes knocking... Alice's ex boyfriend, Steven, who dumped her to travel the world, has run out of money and asks Alice to sell off his collection of chess sets.

Alice decides to host a tournament to showcase the boards, and her plan seems to be working. That is, until chess pieces begin to mysteriously disappear. And when a body is discovered outside the tournament, Alice realises that the victim was a pawn in another, far more dangerous game.

As the host of the event, Alice is eager to help the police investigate. She doesn't know why anyone would be interested in stealing random chess pieces, let alone willing to kill for them, but she's determined to find out. Can she solve the case before someone else gets hurt?

Or will this be one gambit too far for Alice?
