A Devil of a Crime

From Sunday Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher comes a charming murder mystery about a retired devil & retired angel who must team up to catch a killer stalking their small town – before all hell breaks loose. ‘A deftly written, brilliantly crafted, devilishly (and angelically) spun delight of a novel’ – Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop When the murder of a priest rocks a small, quiet town in North Carolina, the prime suspect is who else but the local retired agent of hell, Nicholas Fallen. But Fallen long ago traded his pitchfork for gardening shears and smites only the beetles who try to feast on his carefully cultivated tomato plants. If the reformed devil is to clear his (relatively) good name, he’ll have to pick up the mantle of detective and partner with the least likely of allies: retired angel Serafina Fuller. As more bodies turn up and their dreams of retirement in small-town paradise look to be going up in flames, the two will stop this killer – come hell or high water. ‘Full of her signature warmth, wit and an enormous sense of welcome’ – Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
