The Potting Shed Murder

Autor Paula Sutton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2026

O idilă rurală maschează o crimă brutală. În The Potting Shed Murder, liniștea satului Pudding Corner este spulberată când directorul școlii este găsit fără suflare în propria magazie de grădinărit. Descoperim aici o confruntare tensionată între fațada perfectă a comunității din Norfolk și secretele întunecate care zac îngropate sub straturile de pământ ale grădinilor englezești. Paula Sutton construiește o atmosferă în care vânătoarea de obiecte vintage și plantatul legumelor devin fundalul unei investigații periculoase. Suntem de părere că forța acestui roman rezidă în contrastul dintre confortul stilului de viață „cottagecore” și rigoarea unui „whodunnit” clasic. Stilul are ceva din proza lui Katie Gayle în An English Garden Murder, fără să fie o imitație — Sutton mizează mai mult pe detaliul vizual și pe estetica interioarelor, elemente care au consacrat-o pe autoare în mediul online. Dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Hill House Living, Paula Sutton explora bucuria decorării și a rețetelor sezoniere, aici ea folosește aceleași decoruri primitoare pentru a ascunde indicii vitale. Subliniem modul în care Daphne Brewster, protagonista, navighează între datoria de a-și salva o prietenă acuzată pe nedrept și suspiciunea unui inspector local. Ritmul este alert, capitolele sunt pline de umor, dar miza rămâne serioasă: un secret vechi de 40 de ani amenință să distrugă reputații impecabile.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Sutton has flipped the script on the countryside murder mystery! Reminiscent of Poirot... Daphne Brewster is easily the most interesting whodunnit sleuth in years. An observant, humour-filled read that left me wanting more of Pudding Corner' PATERSON JOSEPH

'Miss Marple for the 21st Century. Loved it. A must-read' S.J. BENNETT

Welcome to the sleepy village of Pudding Corner, a quintessentially English haven of golden cornfields, winding cobbled lanes ... and murder.
Daphne Brewster has left London behind and is settling into her family's new life in rural Norfolk, planting broad beans in raised beds and vintage hunting for their farmhouse.
But when the local headmaster is found dead in his potting shed, amongst his allotment cabbages, the village is ablaze: Who would kill beloved Mr Papplewick, pillar of the community? Daphne soon comes to realise perhaps the countryside isn't so idyllic after all...
When the headmaster's widow points her finger at Minnerva, Daphne's new friend, Daphne vows to clear her name. Sneaking into the crime scene and chasing down rumours gets her into hot water with the local inspector - until she comes across a faded photograph that unearths a secret buried for forty years...
They say nothing bad ever happens in close-knit Pudding Corner, but Daphne is close to the truth - dangerously close...
There's death amongst the dahlias... A truly unputdownable whodunnit by Paula Sutton - otherwise known as Instagram's happiest influencer: Hill House Vintage, the queen of cottagecore - an unforgettable new voice in cosy crime. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and Richard Coles.
