Learn moreA corpse in a cupboard. Four likely suspects. One visually-impaired seventy-something sleuth.
It’s nearly Christmas in the small English town of Little Wittering, and retired teacher Sally Smith is enjoying an afternoon in the hair salon.
Until she sniffs out a corpse.
With a body in the broom cupboard and a police-imposed lock-in until the culprit is caught, it doesn’t take long to deduce someone in the salon is a cold-blooded killer.
Sally’s most challenging former pupil may have scraped through Police College but he’s as incompetent as ever, so when the cops think they’ve collared the criminal, Sally’s not sure they’ve made the right cut.
Can a blind woman identify the true culprit or will Sally’s sleuthing make her the chief suspect – or the next victim?
Claude, Gord, Alice, and Maud is the first of Jinny Alexander’s new British small-town cosy mystery series, Mrs Smith’s Suspects, and introduces a thoroughly entertaining modern-day version of a Golden Age locked room mystery.
"Jinny was first published in Horse and Pony magazine at the age of ten. Since then, she’s turned to novel-writing, and is the author of the Jess O’Malley Irish Village Mysteries; the Mrs Smith’s Suspects cozy mystery series, and a handful of standalone contemporary fiction novels. Jinny has also been placed/listed in several prestigious flash or short story contests, including Bath Flash Fiction, Flash 500, Writing Magazine, and Writers' Playground. In 2023, Jinny was awarded an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing, and it was on this course that she met narrator Helen Lloyd. She hopes Claude, Gord, Alice, and Maud will be the first of many collaborations and is delighted to have found such a perfect voice for Mrs Smith! Jinny also teaches English as a foreign language to people all over the world. Her home for now is in rural Ireland, which she shares with her husband and far too many animals. Her two children have grown and flown but return across the Irish Sea when they can. She quite likes to shut the door on them all and write."
Helen Lloyd is a classically trained actor who has a keen ear for accents and loves to bring characters to life. The narrator of books in numerous genres, she delights in new challenges.
