The Kimberly Killing: The Old Bat Chronicles Book 1

Welcome to Bramble Lane and the Old Bats Chronicles

Artist Eve Caulton is fifty, newly divorced and ready for a fresh start. The charming Kimberly Cottage, in a lovely area of Dublin, Ireland seems perfect until a body turns up in her living room before she can even unpack.

Now Eve is one of the chief suspects and her mother calls on her feisty circle of friends to help. They might be known as silly Old Bats by some, but they bring their life experience and very unique skill sets to the case. Soon Eve finds herself relying on them to untangle the secrets of Kimberly Cottage's past and solve the case before its too late, even if that means them using the magic she left behind.

Can Eve prove her innocence? What secrets are hidden in Kimberly Cottage's long history? And are any of her new neighbours capable of cold-blooded murder? Eve must find a balance between the old ways and the new and come to terms with her own family heritage to unravel the secrets of another.

Murder, old family secrets and a dollop of magic combine to make The Kimberly Killing a fun, escapist cozy mystery, from Irish author Nina Hayes, offering authentic Irish folk traditions.
