Murder Is on the Menu in Little Grey Cells

There’s something wonderfully irresistible about a cosy crime novel that combines sharp humour, glamorous settings, and a determined amateur sleuth who simply can’t resist getting involved.

Especially when the murder happens at a dinner party.

We’re delighted to be welcoming readers to the Love Books Tours Bookstagram Tour for Little Grey Cells by Faye Brann, the second instalment in The Jessica Sinclair Mysteries. Packed with wit, scandal, secrets, and a cast of brilliantly entertaining suspects, this is cosy crime at its most deliciously addictive.

An Invitation to Dinner…

Jessica Sinclair is looking forward to a quiet summer.

No investigations.

No threatening messages.

No dead bodies.

Just a sophisticated dinner party hosted in the affluent Surrey enclave of Chitworth, where elegant homes, designer kitchens, and carefully manicured lives create the illusion that everything is perfectly under control.

Of course, appearances can be deceiving.

When one of the guests is found dead, Jessica quickly realises that everyone seated around the table has something to hide.

Celebrity gossip simmers beneath the surface.

Old rivalries reignite.

Friendships begin to fracture.

And more than one guest seems to have had a very good motive for murder.

With her trusted friends Darcy and Della by her side, Jessica once again finds herself investigating before the tabloids get hold of the story.

Because if there’s one thing Jessica Sinclair knows…

It’s that people are rarely what they seem.

The Most Important Question…

If you found yourself trapped at a dinner party with a killer…

Would you:

🥂 Quietly leave?

🕵️ Investigate yourself?

📞 Call the police immediately?

Or, like Jessica Sinclair, start putting the clues together before dessert is served?

Ready to Exercise Your Little Grey Cells?

If you enjoy cosy mysteries with humour, intelligent heroines, memorable supporting characters, and plenty of twists to keep you guessing, Little Grey Cells deserves a place on your reading list.

Just remember…

At some dinner parties, the seating plan can be murder.

Happy reading!
