The fish had a perfectly good alibi.
When the residents of Little Coddlington visit Tidecombe for its famous Fish Festival, they expect bunting, fish pie, and mild disagreement over whether shellfish is food with hinges.
They do not expect a body in the cold room.
At the heart of the festival is Tidecombe's beloved Lucky Fish, said to bring fortune to the harbour, although locals also blame it for everything from weak tea to impossible house prices. So when a man is found dead beside a suspiciously red fish, the town knows exactly where to point the finger.
As Tidecombe panics and suspicion spreads, Mattie Bell, Reverend Clare Ashford and funeral director Simon Vale are drawn into a mystery of village gossip, coastal pride, questionable traditions and one extremely fishy alibi.
Warm, witty and quietly absurd, Everyone Blamed the Fish is a British cosy mystery for readers who enjoy dry humour, eccentric communities, amateur sleuths and murders with no graphic violence.
