ABBEY’S BOOKSELLER PICK ~ Those among you who remember TV series like Sea Change and Northern Exposure will know the joy of spending time with a bunch of small town eccentrics. Sue Williams has tapped into this vibe with a sharp wit, tempered with a touch of family drama.

An enormously enjoyable and pacy novel set in a speck of a country town in rural Victoria, with a plucky amateur sleuth amid a quirky ensemble of townsfolk and family. Quintessentially Australian without being overcooked. Craig Kirchner

Cass Tuplin’s heart is king-hit when her first-love, Leo Stone, walks into her fish ’n’ chips shop. Thing is - Leo died twenty years ago. Or so everyone thought.

That same day Cass gets a call from Gary Kellett about his daughter, a journalist, who died in a car crash a few months back. Gary's adamant it was no accident. Cass agrees to investigate. After all, not only is Cass the owner of Rusty Bore's finest (and only) purveyor of fast food, she’s also made a bit of a name for herself as the ‘go-to’ private detective within a couple of hundred Ks.

But being an unlicenced PI, Cass risks running afoul of the law - represented locally by her son Dean - a policeman with issues and prone to taking the hard-line towards to any infringement.

Dean warns his mother off her amateur meddling, asserting his belief that Gary is simply a delusional, grieving father. Is that the case? Or did a young journo die for other reasons?

Another tasty offering from the author of Murder with the Lot.

'A well-sauced outback caper, with Chiko Rolls-and murder.' Kerry Greenwood on Murder with the Lot 'A wonderful tongue-in-cheek style, a mix of subtle and laugh-out-loud humour, individual characters, and a crazy plot that keeps you turning the pages.' Otago Daily Times on Murder with the Lot 'There is a murder; there may be mafia involved. Or so thinks Cass, your classic nosy small Aussie town Miss Marple-although her manner and turn of phrase are somewhat less refined. A racy romp.' Weekend Herald on Murder with the Lot 'There's a wry, satirical element to much of Williams' humour...In the grand tradition of cosies, [Cass is] a woman underestimated at your peril...Fun and often charming crime fiction, thanks to its winning super-sleuth heroine.' Saturday Paper 'Williams captures small town Victoria with ease and her plot has enough twists and red herrings to keep it interesting. Fans of Murder With The Lot will not be disappointed, and no doubt will be hoping for more of Cass Tuplin. An excellent sequel!' BookMooch 'Once again, Williams has created a small-town mystery with big repercussions...[Her] style is consistent across both Cass Tuplin mysteries, full of Cass' humorous and irreverent take on life and its dramas, with Cass' great one liners, smart observations and witty internal monologues adding to the entertainment factor of Dead Men Don't Order Flake.' Weekly Times 'An enormously enjoyable and pacy novel set in a speck of a country town in rural Victoria, with a plucky amateur sleuth amid a quirky ensemble of townsfolk and family. Quintessentially Australian without being overcooked.' Abbey's Bookshop '[A] finely wrought and highly amusing crime novel...Williams has created a wonderful new series in the comedy crime genre. Dead Men Don't Order Flake is a multilayered yarn that mines the rich ore of regional Australia and I can't wait for the next Cass Tuplin adventure.' Australian 'Williams has put together a recipe for madcap adventure the main ingredient an engaging female lead whose nosiness solves the mysteries of her tiny hometown.' Adelaide Advertiser 'This book is pure entertainment the author captures the quirky ways of small town Australia perfectly, well, apart from murder that is, we don't get too many of them in these parts.' Audiothing 'Smoothly written with plenty of humour, and some wry observations by Cass, this is an enjoyable, off-beat crime novel with a good cast of characters and a nicely paced storyline.' Sydney Morning Herald
