Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on an upcoming release, THE SUNSET YEARS OF AGNES SHARP by Leonie Swann and translated from the original German by Amy Bojang.
THE SUNSET YEARS OF AGNES SHARP
by Leonie Swann
Blurb:
It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the other
inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a house share for the old and unruly in the
sleepy English countryside. Although they have had some issues
(misplaced reading glasses, conflicting culinary tastes, decreasing
mobility, and gluttonous grandsons), nothing prepares them for an
unexpected visit from a police officer with some shocking news. A body
has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face for show,
but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one
they’re currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith).
It seems
the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right
into their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered their
neighbor, so they can pin Lillith’s death on them, thus killing two
(old) birds with one stone (cold killer).
With their plan sorted,
Agnes and her geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody
likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can cast about,
surely the less will land on them. To investigate, they will step out of
their comfort zone, into the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and
tangle with sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, the
local authorities, and their own dark secrets.
