In the quaint streets of South-West London, four female pensioners are about to embark on the heist of a lifetime. Meet the Crones:

Delilah, the impulsive mastermind

Orla, the razor-sharp retired teacher

Maz, the anxious caterer riddled with self-doubt.

and Beth, battling a deadly brain tumour

United by forty years of friendship, and desperate to raise funds for Beth’s healthcare, the Crones set about a daring plan to steal a priceless brooch from Hawling House.

But this is no ordinary theft. It's a mission to right a decades-old wrong – the ‘death’ of their friend Ronnie at the hand of the mansion's enigmatic owner, Edgar Hawling.

As the crones navigate secret passages, outsmart security, and showcase some of the most cunning catering skills Twickenham has ever seen, they quickly find themselves in a race against time and tugging at the threads of a far more treacherous tapestry than they ever imagined.

Brought to life by legendary Alison Steadman (Gavin & Stacey, Abigail's Party), The Coffee Shop Detectives is a hilarious and heart-warming celebration of female friendship and the unbreakable spirit of women who refuse to go quietly into their golden years.

I absolutely LOVED this book! From the storyline, to the narrators, and everything in between, this book was engaging, funny, suspenseful, and very well written. This author is someone I will definitely read more from. Great job! Also, the end was well thought out, and I liked how it didn't leave me wondering where the rest of the story was, like so many I've read that left me scratching my head and wondering if I must have missed something. I truly enjoyed this book. It was so entertaining, and I didn't want it to end.

Amazing!!!

Finally… a book not afraid to be a little bit cheesy for entertainment’s sake. Realistic? Probably not… but that’s okay. I felt it had a nice balance of issues faced by ‘women of a certain age’. Maybe it’s bc I’m in my 50’s that it resonated so well with me. Whatever the reason… I enjoyed it thoroughly

Loved everything about it!
