Death Comes to Little Dunning: A Mystery of Secrets, Identity, and Murders in an English Village (Murder Mystery & thrillers Book 2)

In the quiet English village of Little Dunning, nothing ever changes.
The church clock has been stuck at twenty past three for years. The villagers know one another’s habits, histories… and secrets.
Until murder arrives.
When the Reverend Fitch is found dead in his vestry, poisoned under impossible circumstances, it seems a tragic but isolated event. But when a second victim falls, and then another, it becomes clear that something far darker is at work.
Enter Monsieur Hercule Bouvard.
Meticulous, observant, and guided by his “little grey cells,” Bouvard begins to unravel a web of deception that stretches far beyond the village, and back to Cairo in 1921, where five people made a decision that was never meant to surface again.
Now, decades later, someone is killing to keep that past buried.
Each victim appears unconnected.
Each clue seems insignificant.
A photograph with a missing figure.
A watch with altered initials.
A ledger that records the impossible.
A letter that warns, but misleads.
A register that reveals a fatal mistake.
As suspicion tightens around a circle of seemingly respectable villagers, Bouvard must answer a chilling question:
What if the killer is not hiding…
…but living in plain sight?
In a final, brilliant reveal, Bouvard exposes a truth more dangerous than murder itself, one that turns on identity, silence, and a conspiracy so carefully constructed that it has survived for decades.
Until now.

Perfect for fans of classic Golden Age mysteries, intricate puzzles, and unforgettable twists, Death Comes to Little Dunning delivers a masterful whodunit where nothing, and no one, is quite what it seems.
