There is only so much sourdough one can bake. Her second novel came about when her husband, sensing literary fame and an early retirement, moved her to the most depressing place in England so she could turn it into a series. Happily for him, Lady Georgina kept waking her up with plotline notes, and thus we have another book. Enjoy. The author now lives in the Scottish Highlands and there is no telling what will happen next.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48459074404589,"sku":"9781399739313","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_26f85b3b-07f7-4c32-81be-0a10ad729685.jpg?v=1753627657","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/only-murders-in-the-abbey-an-absolutely-gripping-and-witty-golden-age-cozy-murder-mystery-9781399739313","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
