When her best friend Ghita Chowdhury throws her hat into the ring for local council elections, vintage shop owner Tanya Bowe eagerly signs on as campaign manager. It should be straightforward: hand out leaflets, knock on doors, smile at voters. But nothing in the seaside town of Seacastle is ever simple. Between candidates with dubious pasts, whispers of corruption in the council offices, and a town divided over everything from potholes to foxes, this election is heating up fast.
Then Marion Pocock, the formidable head of procurement, collapses at a candidates' meet-and-greet. What begins as a medical emergency quickly becomes a murder investigation when antifreeze is found in her system. From blackmailed business owners to rival candidates with everything to lose, half of Seacastle seems to have a reason to want Marion gone.
As Tanya digs into Marion's web of schemes and secret deals, the list of suspects grows longer by the day. And suddenly, Ghita isn't just competing for votes-she's become the target of people with nothing left to lose.
With Ghita's campaign in tatters and a killer on the loose, Tanya must navigate the murky waters of local politics to uncover who wanted Marion dead... and salvage her friend's hopes of victory.
Can she unmask a murderer before someone else pays the ultimate political price?Fans of Richard Osman's humour and Agatha Christie's twists will feel right at home in Seacastle, where coastal crime always comes with a side of cake.Pre-order Poison Politics today and escape to Seacastle!Also in
