Lightning Strikes Twice: A fiesty female detective murder mystery

A village cosy mystery in which a decades old murder is copied in exact detail just as a new private investigation business opens its doors. Warm and twisty, with a feisty amateur sleuth, a cold case, old grudges and a community full of secrets.

History Repeats Itself. This Time It's Murder.

Just as Mary Blake launches her new private investigation business, tragedy strikes her quiet village of Bloxley. A decades-old murder appears to have been replicated down to the last detail, reigniting old fears, old rumours, and older grudges.

With suspicion spreading and her fledgling reputation on the line, Mary works the case alongside her charming allies Dot and Pea. But the closer she gets to the original crime, the clearer it becomes that someone in Bloxley has waited years for the chance to strike twice.

Lightning Strikes Twice is the third book in the Mary Blake Mysteries, a cosy mystery for readers who love feisty amateur sleuths, cold cases, and classic village whodunnits. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M.C. Beaton, and Lilian Jackson Braun.
