A local gossip is about to get her just desserts!
Life at Hopgood Hall is never boring, but Alexi Ellis hopes that there will be no more murders for the time being – she’s solved four already and is getting a reputation in the local area for being bad luck.
So when local gossip Polly Pearson arrives at Hopgood hall, Alexi knows this can only mean bad news. Polly has made it clear that she dislikes Alexi, and has campaigned for her to leave Hopgood Hall forever – so what could Polly want?
Then Polly reveals that her partner, Gerry has been found murdered in her B&B and that she is the main suspect! Alexi, her partner Jack and Cosmo the cat are all left speechless. More so when Polly begs Alexi for help improving her innocence.
But Alexi isn’t sure she wants to help this spiteful gossip. Is she really innocent or as deadly as the police believe her to be?

Why Should You Read It?
E.V. Hunter’s A Deadly Affair is a delightful blend of cozy mystery and character-driven drama that keeps readers on their toes. Set in the charming yet ever-mysterious Hopgood Hall, the story follows Alexi Ellis, who, despite her best efforts to enjoy some peace, finds herself embroiled in yet another murder investigation. Known locally as a harbinger of bad luck due to her knack for uncovering crimes, Alexi is less than thrilled when the notorious gossip Polly Pearson seeks her help after Polly’s partner, Gerry, is found dead.
The novel’s strength lies in its well-crafted characters and the tension that arises from their interactions. Alexi’s internal conflict over whether to assist Polly, who has actively campaigned against her, adds a layer of complexity to the plot. The dynamics between Alexi, her partner Jack, and the ever-observant Cosmo the cat bring a touch of humor and warmth to the otherwise tense narrative. Hunter skillfully builds suspense, making readers question Polly’s innocence right alongside Alexi. A Deadly Affair is a thoroughly engaging read, offering the perfect mix of intrigue, wit, and charm. It earns a solid four stars for its clever plot twists and the relatable dilemmas faced by its protagonist.
