Publisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Considering a trip to a quaint English village? You’ll think twice after learning about the countless murderous possibilities lurking behind the bucolic façades, thanks to this illustrated guide from #1 bestselling author Maureen Johnson and illustrator Jay Cooper—perfect for fans of cozy mysteries.
A weekend roaming narrow old lanes, touring the faded glories of a country manor, and quaffing pints in the pub. How charming. That is, unless you have the misfortune of finding yourself in an English Murder Village, where danger lurks around each picturesque cobblestone corner and every sip of tea may be your last. If you insist on your travels, do yourself a favor and bring a copy of this little book. It may just keep you alive.
Brought to life with dozens of Gorey-esque drawings by illustrator Jay Cooper and peppered with allusions to classic crime series and unmistakably British murder lore, Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village gives you the tools you need to avoid the same fate, should you find yourself in a suspiciously cozy English village (or simply dream of going). Good luck! And whatever you do, avoid the vicar.

LOL
Laugh up loud funny…delightful! Loved the artwork!
Laughed my bum off!
I thought, when I saw in the LA TIMES in today’s Sunday edition, that this book was #9 on the bestseller non-fiction list, I assumed it was a true crime book and I was excited to read a DATELINE-ish type of book based on cold cases in the English countryside, in a quaint English Village. Am I a dummy and deserve to be murdered with poison in a manor house in Frumpley-upon- Thames? Perhaps, and I would happily sacrifice myself for this book to be sent to more unsuspecting victims....it’s a must read during these Alice in Wonderland times because we need a break.
