About the book

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Considering a trip to a quaint English village? You’ll think twice after learning about the countless murderous possibilities lurking behind the bucolic façades, thanks to this illustrated guide from #1 bestselling author Maureen Johnson and illustrator Jay Cooper—perfect for fans of cozy mysteries.

A weekend roaming narrow old lanes, touring the faded glories of a country manor, and quaffing pints in the pub. How charming. That is, unless you have the misfortune of finding yourself in an English Murder Village, where danger lurks around each picturesque cobblestone corner and every sip of tea may be your last. If you insist on your travels, do yourself a favor and bring a copy of this little book. It may just keep you alive. 

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.

    Semplicemente adorabile! Un piccolo volume che non può mancare nelle librerie di ogni appassionato della crime fiction più classica, perché non c’è ambientazione migliore di un caratteristico villaggio inglese per un omicidio! Maureen Johnson (a proposito, perché in italiano non vengono ancora pubblicati gli altri due volumi della serie di “Cordialmente, perfido”?) ci guida, attraverso le azzeccatissime illustrazioni di Jay Cooper, nel più tipico villaggio con i suoi luoghi simbolo, dalla chiesa al vecchio molino, per poi passare all’immancabile maniero con le sue imprescindibili stanze (l’attico, lo studio, la camera chiusa, etc). Poteva quindi mancare un focus sui pittoreschi abitanti e del villaggio e del maniero e su quegli eventi a cui ogni assassino che si rispetti non può non partecipare? Il miglior regalo di Natale che potessi farmi
