'This is delicate storytelling with wit and charm: quite wonderful' DAILY MAIL

The first in a warm, witty and wonderfully twisty new mystery series from much-loved Irish actor, writer and comedian Ardal O'Hanlon - perfect for fans of Graham Norton, Richard Osman and Death in Paradise.

When celebrity gardener Finn O'Leary returns to his hometown of Abbeyford, Ireland, to care for his ageing mother, he is quickly roped into the local Tidy Towns committee. With the competition fiercely fought for by every town and village in the country, Finn's best friend's sister, Aoife, is determined that this will finally be Abbeyford's year.

But Finn has barely unpacked before an alto-baritone drops dead during his mother's choir practice, midway through a rendition of 'What the World Needs Now'.

Soon, there is far more at stake than flowerbeds and civic pride. With his mother, her carer, Happiness, and Aoife in tow, Finn sets out to discover who has brought murder to Abbeyford.

And so it begins.

'A Plot To Die For is how cosy crime should be: wonderfully written, witty, twisty, intriguing and totally unputdownable' Janice Hallett
