SynopsisIn this delightfully funny and heartfelt new novel from the author of the "bittersweet page-turner" ( The New York Times ) The Last Book Party , an American woman travels to the English countryside when she discovers tickets her late mother had purchased for a murder mystery simulation in a small British town. When thirty-four-year-old Cath loses her mostly absentee mother, she is ambivalent. With days of quiet, unassuming routine in Buffalo, New York, Cath consciously avoids the impulsive, thrill-seeking lifestyle that her mother once led. But when she's forced to go through her mother's things one afternoon, Cath is perplexed to find tickets for an upcoming "murder week" in England's Peak District: a whole town has come together to stage a fake murder mystery to attract tourism to their quaint hamlet. Baffled but helplessly intrigued by her mother's secret purchase, Cath decides to go on the trip herself--and begins a journey she never could have anticipated. Teaming up with her two cottage-mates, both ardent mystery lovers--Wyatt Green, forty, who works unhappily in his husband's birding store, and Amity Clark, fifty, a divorced romance writer struggling with her novels--Cath sets about solving the "crime" and begins to unravel shocking truths about her mother along the way. Amidst a fling--or something more--with the handsome local maker of artisanal gin, Cath and her irresistibly charming fellow sleuths will find this week of fake murder may help them face up to a very real crossroads in their own lives. Witty, wise, and deliciously escapist, Welcome to Murder Week is a fresh, inventive twist on the murder mystery and a touching portrayal of one daughter's reckoning with her grief, her past--and her own budding sense of adventure., A funny, heartfelt, delightful novel about an American woman who, following the death of her absentee mother, finds tickets her mother had inexplicably purchased for them to take part in a murder mystery simulation in a small English town and decides to go on the trip.
