Scoop! — Hannah Dennison

In the sleepy English town of Gipping-on-Plym, ambitious, young journalist Vicky Hill will do anything to get off the obituary circuit and on the front page. And in a town full of secrets, a funeral could be just the scoop she needs...

If there's one thing Vicky has learned in her career as an obituary writer, it's how to spot something fishy at a funeral--and plenty is amiss at the service for Gordon Berry. The man was a champion hedge cutter. And people are to believe he electrocuted himself by striking a power line with his own clippers?

At the reception, there are rumblings of foul play--not to mention a fistfight between Jack Webster and the local lothario, Dr. Frost. In her quest for a scoop, Vicky confronts everything from bad dates to mortal danger. But when someone gets ahold of her own nasty secret, will she break the story--or get broken?
