'Full of warmth, fun and feel-good factor' #1 Sunday Times Bestseller Katie Fforde We regret to inform you of the passing of your great-aunt, Matilda Hartley. As the sole beneficiary of her estate, you have inherited her business, No. 17 Curiosity Lane, Puffin Island... Music journalist Fern Talbot has just inherited a dusty antique shop from a woman she never knew. Her plan is simple: get in, sell it, and get out. But when she discovers that her charming lodger, Daniel, is her train ride meet-cute, and a tantalising mystery wrapped up in a vintage wedding dress demands to be solved, Puffin Island quickly captures this devoted city girl's heart... Each gorgeous title in the Puffin Island series can be read as a standalone.

This is such a heartwarming read' 'I finished it with a big smile, and a serious urge to move to Puffin Island' 'I read this in practically one sitting as I didn't want to put it down' 'A novel that will stay with you long after you turn the last page' 'Christie creates a community which you really want to be a part of. I want to live on the island!'
