Somebody is stealing from Speckled Hill. Unfortunately, they're not stopping at silverware.

You'd think a string of burglaries would teach the villagers to lock their doors.

One of them knows better.

Then the church gets done over. And what's stolen from one place turns up at the next break-in. An escaped pig makes an already strange week stranger, and Chloe Essex starts asking questions nobody in Speckled Hill wants answered.

Nobody's laughing when she finds her friend unconscious on Cake Heaven's kitchen floor.

Her ex wants a favour. PC Prodd only has to look at her, and she loses her thread entirely. Neither is the slightest use.

The clues refuse to fit. The thief refuses to stop.

And for one of her neighbours, it means far more than losing a few valuables.

With her gloriously unqualified friends at her side and the police urging caution, Chloe has to work out what the burglar is really after and why they keep giving it back.

The Only Way is Burglary is book three of the Chloe Essex Cozy Mysteries, a humorous British village series with a fair-play puzzle, an escaped pig and a village losing its nerve.

Return to Speckled Hill, where everybody knows everybody... until they discover how much they don't.

Readers who enjoy Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton and Faith Martin will feel right at home.
