What to expect

SOLVE THE MOST HILARIOUS MYSTERY OF THE YEAR
An ex-serial killer. A dozen retired investigators. And one bloody murder...

'What a lovely romp - as it were - Fergus is so funny and brilliant.'
MIRANDA HART

DAILY MAIL
***** 'A fun and lighthearted cosy crime which had me laughing out loud'
CUSTOMER REVIEW

When former serial killer Carol takes her place in a luxury retirement home, she begins to find her feet with a small new group of friends. If she can only keep her past hidden, maybe she has a chance at happiness.

That's when she discovers that, absurdly, every other one of Sheldon Oaks' residents was involved in the law somehow. It's not long before her true identity is leaked, and when a former police commissioner resident is murdered, naturally all eyes turn to her...

Now she must solve the case to prove her innocence - just as her new friends start their own investigations into whether there is more than one killer at Sheldon Oaks.

Praise for Fergus Craig:
'I can't wait for you to get involved in [this] VERY silly thriller. We all need more laughs like this' AISLING BEA
'Laugh out loud funny.' MARK BILLINGHAM
'Tea-spittingly hilarious.' CHRIS BROOKMYRE
'Funny and gripping' DARA Ó BRIAIN

Critics Review

Witty, fast-paced, and plenty surprising, Craig's cracked cozy goes down smooth. It's a delightfully twisted romp.
Publisher's Weekly - Starred Review
A fine mystery whose mordant humor makes it outstanding.
Kirkus - Starred Review
[A] winning mixture of humor and seriousness, baking and bingo
FirstClue - Book of the Week
Delightful, funny and hard to put down.
Jonn Elledge, bestselling author of A History of the World in 47 Borders
What a lovely romp - as it were - Fergus is so funny and brilliant.
Miranda Hart
Carol, a female serial killer, and her unlikely cast of new friends are a joy to get to know in this unique and twisty murder mystery.
E.C. Nevin, author of A Novel Murder
Craig clearly relies on his background as actor, comedian, and TV writer to achieve pitch-perfect timing in making murder most fun
Booklist - starred review
Making murder funny is a delicate business, but actor and comedian Craig manages it with aplomb in a wry, witty style
Daily Mail
Equal parts cozy mystery and redemption tale, this is a brisk, mordantly funny romp about second chances and the inconvenient persistence of reputation
Seattle Times
Actor/comedian Craig pulls off the neat feat of creating a thoroughly likable serial killer... Craig gives her a dry wit but reveals that she has soft spots, too. Carol is simply a killer character
