Synopsis

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
'Making murder funny is a delicate business, but Craig manages it with aplomb in a wry, witty style'
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

Even serial unalivers get a raw deal sometimes!
Is it weird that I find empathy with a serial unaliver? Carol may be fresh out of prison and now 75 years old but she could still get rid of anyone in her ... READ MORE
