Book Overview
Thinking of a foray to a quaint English village? You'll think twice after reading this tongue-in-cheek illustrated guide to the countless murderous possibilities lurking behind these villages' bucolic fa ades--from bestselling author Maureen Johnson and illustrator Jay Cooper. In the England of murder mysteries and TV detectives, no destination is deadlier than a quaint country village, and you never know you're in a murder village until it's too late. No attraction or local character is safe--whether in the pub for a pint, or on the manicured grounds of the local estate for a shooting party, bodies can turn up anywhere Danger lurks around every cobblestone corner. If you are foolish enough to make the trip, at least be prepared. Brought to life with dozens of Gorey-esque drawings by illustrator Jay Cooper and peppered with allusions to classic crime series and unmistakably British murder lore, Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village gives you the tools you need to avoid the same fate, should you find yourself in a suspiciously cozy English village (or simply dream of going). Good luck, and whatever you do, avoid the vicar.

Witty and highly entertaining
Published by MCB , 9 months ago
This was hilarious! As one of the negative reviewers pointed out it is in fact a picture book but a very clever, funny one. Fans of cozy mysteries don’t hesitate to get this one. Just don’t expect a Agatha Christy book.
Short, funny read

This is a very funny book is you are a fan of BBC shows such as Father Brown, Miss Marple, Midsommer Murders, and the like. Otherwise, you will not appreciate the humor.
It’s a picture book

I thought this was an actual story, but it’s just some black and white(red) sketches with little blurbs. Waste of my money.
