Outwardly peaceful, the village of Coombesford has, at times, been the scene of murder and mayhem. Nestled between the Haldon Hills and Dartmoor in Devon, England, what secrets does Coombesford hide behind its quaint façade?
The residents of this idyllic-seeming village may not be entirely what they seem. Who is the Little Princess, really? What grudge does the editor of a local paper have against the amateur theatrical society? What plots does the parking attendant devise on her time off?
Meet some of the residents of Coombesford in this collection of twelve short stories, and catch a glimpse of what they get up to when not solving—or committing—murder.
The Coombesford Calendar series is a companion to the Coombesford Chronicles cozy murder mysteries.

Carol A –
The perfect English village?
A delightful look at an English village full of eccentric people, there’s a princess and an underground drama critic, to name a few. I recognized a few characters from the author’s Murder at Mountjoy Manor and I have to wonder if some of these will play a role in the next book. Will that role be the next victim? Or the next villain? There is quite a pool to choose from. I have to admit, the author who fine-tunes her stories as she swims laps in the pool hit home with me. I anxiously await the next round!
Welsh Annie –
A “just one more” collection – and a really lovely read.
This collection really was quite delicious in every way. Twelve stories, one for each month of the year – and as the whole book’s only 90 pages long, they’re all quite short. But every single one of them is simply wonderful – well drawn characters, that perfect village setting, a touch of light intrigue, a sprinkling of humour – with some really unexpected twists in their tails.
You might choose to read them one at a time – that had been my plan too, but the temptation to try “just one more” was far too great, I read from cover to cover in one thoroughly enjoyable sitting. And you might find you have your personal favourites, but I guarantee that every single one of them will entertain and leave you with a wide smile on your face.
Such a lovely read – and one I’d thoroughly recommend to others.
