Frogs & Fog: A Murkmire Mystery

'If you are reading this then I'm dead... And no, it wasn't an accident'

Cryptic words from beyond the grave found in a hidden note. A generations old secret. A murder.

Rea List returns to Murkmire Manor, discovering secrets that grow in the greenhouses can also be buried there.

With suspects in both the List and Toes Families, can Rea solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? Enjoy a cozy, gore free mystery with light fantasy elements, sharp humor, and a fondness for wordplay, riddles, and the occasional anagram that may—or may not—matter more than it should. Perfect for readers who like clever puzzles, eccentric characters, and mysteries that unfold with wit rather than blood.

Frogs & Fog: A Murkmire Mystery will appeal to readers who enjoy the linguistic playfulness and reality-bending logic of Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next, the clever inheritance puzzles and name-driven intrigue of Ellen Raskin’s The Westing Game, and the eccentric institutions and dry humor found in Diana Wynne Jones’s adult fantasy, such as Deep Secret. 
 

“Smart, witty, and fun—Frogs & Fog: A Murkmire Mystery is a clever, wordplay-rich whodunit that rewards patient readers with eccentric characters, layered secrets, and sharp humor. Once it clicks, it clicks: a quietly unsettling, linguistically playful mystery that unfolds with wit rather than blood.”
