The day after Ray suddenly announces that he wants to be a private detective and solve crimes, there's a murder in his quiet little village. And then another. And then a third.This doesn't look so great for Ray, who ends up being questioned rather strenuously after each corpse comes to light, especially when it just so happens that he finds two of the victims and is discovered vomiting over the body of a third.Once they get over the idea that Ray is the killer, his social circle in the local pub band together to try to solve the crimes, but they don't have the first idea how to go about it, and their brainstorming sessions are hilarious. Truthfully, the identity of the murderer isn't that hard to figure out, but nobody in the village does, because they are all off chasing the goofiest ideas possible.This delightful little novella is an absolutely charming way to spend an hour or so...maybe on a rainy afternoon with a cup of tea by your side. Or in the waiting room of a doctor's office. But do read it!
