Making A Killing by Bonnie Espie
Published by NB PublishersWinifred Staples - having fled from a threat in Johannesburg - just wants a tranquil life and to open a bookshop in the sleepy village of Riviersvalleij. She’s determined to keep to herself until she meets Sylvie, a sassy local. Despite her reservations, Winifred agrees to partner with Sylvie to open The Novel Eatery, a charming bookshop/café, where the unlikely pair serve up tea, soetkoekies, and gossip.
When a slight inconvenience of a dead customer threatens their fledgling business, the duo discover they have quite a talent for creative problemsolving - and disposal. Their enterprise flourishes - even if some of their solutions are rather unorthodox. But the past always has a way of catching up, and when Winifred’s former boss tracks her down, she and Sylvie face their biggest challenge yet. Sometimes the best solutions require the most unlikely ingredients. . .
Making A Killing is a darkly comedic tale of friendship, revenge, and resourcefulness.
