The Murder Above Merangs: A Cake Shop Cozy Mystery (The Merang Mysteries Book 1) Kindle Edition

Can you play hide-and-seek when you’re dead?

A flood at Helen's tea room sets off a grisly chain of events. Maybe breaking into the neighbour's apartment wasn't such a good idea after all?

That naked dead man didn't shove himself in the cupboard. And now he's fallen out and is lying at her feet.

The police are ringing the doorbell. There's no other exit, and she can't escape. Can Helen convince them she's just a nosy parker, or will they follow the evidence and arrest her for murder?

The Murder Before Merangs is one of a series of culinary crime mysteries featuring amateur sleuth, Helen Merang. Each book leads to the next but can also be read as a standalone. Written in British English with a few sweary words, mild profanity and peril.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Carole would like to say she leads an exciting life which is reflected in her novels, but that would be a lie. The most daring thing she's done in the last ten years is to dye her hair red. The photos are out of date.

She lives with her partner in Yorkshire. They don't have pets but have matching his 'n' her sheds. He messes around with spanners in his, and she plots murder in hers.

Carole can be found at www.carolemarples.com

Whip-smart cozies with attitude.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, witty, and intelligent

The Murder Above Merangs is a pacy, smart mystery that is a joy to read. The prose is witty with many laugh-out-loud moments (James' one-liners are great); the characters are engaging and well-drawn; and underlying it all is careful attention to a clever plot. All the elements come together beautifully. I especially enjoyed the supporting characters like Graham and Dora, who contribute tons of personality and verve to the narrative.

I received this book as an Arc from the author and I’m writing a review because I want to. These books are so cute! The day starts out with a flood from the ceiling. The rental agent comes to find out what is happening. He finds a body. When the police arrive there’s no body! Now the games afoot. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly entertaining read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2022

This is a great cosy crime mystery with a generous helping of laugh-out-loud humour. I particularly loved main character Helen, who gets into some hilarious situations due to her amateur sleuthing (some might say nosiness, but she always has the interests of others at heart).

Helen’s tea room, Merangs, provides the perfect focal point for the adventure, with its vivid set of characters - customers, misfits, friends and strangers – all of whom warm-hearted Helen takes under her wing. It’s a place I’d love to frequent in real life!

The Murder Above Merangs is a brilliant start to Carole Marples’ new series (there is a prequel, but this story is very much a standalone). I can’t wait for the next one and hope there will be many more mysteries to come.
