If a get-rich-quick scheme sounds too good to be true, Speckled Hill's probably already bought into it.

Chloe Essex thought solving one murder had earned her a bit of a rest.

Clearly, she underestimated Speckled Hill.

Steve won't take the hint, and PC Prodd keeps making her blush at inconvenient moments. She could do without the pair of them.

An investment lands in the village, and everyone falls for it, dreaming of easy money and brighter futures. Chloe isn't convinced, especially when neighbours who normally can't keep a secret suddenly become remarkably tight-lipped.

Then the man half of them handed their money to turns up dead, and the rest stop speaking altogether.

Chloe starts pulling at the threads, because the trail runs straight to the money her father lost, back when he could still have told her how.

She can leave it there, or she can find out who took it. Somebody here is very keen she chooses the first.

The Only Way is Forgery is book two of the Chloe Essex Cozy Mysteries, a humorous British village series with a fair-play puzzle, a great deal of bad financial advice and a village that never learns.

Come back to Speckled Hill, where the gossip travels faster than the money and every bargain comes with a hidden cost.

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