The Sister Boniface Mysteries (available from 8th February 2022)
From the makers of Father Brown and Shakespeare & Hathaway comes a light-hearted murder mystery series starring a Vespa driving, crime solving Catholic nun: Sister Boniface (Lorna Watson, Father Brown, Horrible Histories).
It’s the 1960s and police forensics are rudimentary. Luckily for the residents of Great Slaughter, nestled deep in the British countryside, have a secret weapon. Sister Boniface. This nun might be predisposed to forgive – but she’s also one hell of an amateur detective.
If there’s evidence to be found, Boniface will find it, with a little help from dashing maverick DI Sam Gillespie and buttoned-up Bermudan DS Felix Livingstone, who’s horrified to be stuck in the eccentric world of Great Slaughter.
Murder, They Hope (available from 11th February 2022)
After unmasking killers on a coach trip, an ill-fated cruise and at a creepy campsite, Sian Gibson and Johnny Vegas (Murder on the Blackpool Express, Dial M for Middlesbrough) are back on the case as former tour guides Gemma and Terry, who find themselves embroiled in more hilarious homicides in this three-part comedy mystery sequel Murder, They Hope.
Having decided to quit the coach tour game, the pair are trying, and failing, to become private investigators.
