A literary mystery with a twist of Welsh charm! Tim Cleverley inherits a failing pub in Wales and hatches a plan: enlist an American pulp novelist to fabricate a mystery around poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. The Hopkins Conundrum blends Hopkins' real life and the tragic tale of the shipwrecked nuns from The Wreck of the Deutschland with a contemporary love story, all while satirizing the Dan Brown-esque conspiracy industry.
Can Tim pull off his scheme and save the pub? Or will the real secrets of Hopkins' life, faith, and the ill-fated nuns rise to the surface? This novel is for you if you enjoy:
- Literary fiction with a touch of humor
- Historical mysteries set in Wales
- Stories that blend fact and fiction with a satirical edge
