Über diesen Titel
Longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2022
Grace, Meg and Daphne, all in their 70s, are minding their own business while enjoying a cup of tea in a café when 17-year-old Nina stumbles in. She’s clearly distraught and running from someone, so the three women think nothing of hiding her when a suspicious-looking man starts asking if they’ve seen her.
Once alone, Nina tells the women a little of what she’s running from. The need to protect her is immediate, and Grace, Meg and Daphne vow to do just this. But how? They soon realise there really is only one answer: murder.
And so begins the tale of the three most unlikely murderers-in-the-making, and may hell protect anyone who underestimates them.

"Guaranteed to hook you.... At times both touching and darkly funny, A Beginner's Guide to Murder explores the vital ways in which women can support one another through their darkest hours." (Anna Bailey, Sunday Times best-selling author of Tall Bones)
"A beguiling, beautifully crafted treat of a novel. It holds so much wisdom yet wears it so lightly. There are shades of Kate Atkinson in the way Rosalind balances dark themes with dry humour, a great plot, exquisitely realised characters, and more than a hint of feminist sensibility...truly everything I want in a novel." (Jessica Moor, best-selling author of Keeper)
"A quirky, witty thriller that reminds us not to underestimate the older generation." (Best)
"[An] excellent character-driven tale...by turns amusing, sorrowful, and thrilling. Stopps is definitely a writer to watch." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
