The Only Way is Burglary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230752738)

First the locks are picked. Then the lies pile high. And now the mystery is messier than a crime scene in a cake shop.

Just as Chloe Essex thought village life was finally returning to normal, a prancing pig and a rash of baffling burglaries disrupt the peace.

When one of her gang becomes the latest victim, she sets off on an unusual quest to uncover the truth.

With her ragtag team beside her, she follows a trail of wacky clues and red herrings, from the local pub to the parish church. As they inch closer to unmasking the thief, tensions boil over, and she finds a body.

Will solving the caper restore tranquillity, or force Chloe to choose between protecting the past and safeguarding the future?

The Only Way is Burglary is the third book of the Chloe Essex Cozy Mysteries, a warm and witty British series where Midsomer Murders meets Bridget Jones, with an ever-so-slightly bonkers twist. Best read in series order to avoid spoilers and missed clues, it's perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Agatha Raisin and Stephanie Plum.

But be warned. When laughter, intrigue and murder combine, survival depends on unlimited supplies of fake tan and a vat of builders' tea.
