A Chipp and Pinn Mystery 1 Murder at Cranborne Abbey: The First Chipp and Pinn Comedy Crime Caper - John Eaton (Hardback) 07-09-2026

Murder at Cranborne Abbey is a wildly entertaining comedy crime caper that takes you on a rollicking ride through 1990s Devon! What starts as a simple job soon spirals into murder, mystery and mayhem... Chipp and Pinn couldn't be more different. Chipp, shaped by a troubled past, is tough, instinctive and never far from trouble. Pinn, raised in privilege but restless and rebellious, is searching for something more. Together, they run a struggling second-hand furniture business in Devon - until desperation pushes them into the world of private investigation. Their first case seems straightforward: recover a stolen watch. But when a mysterious client invites them to spend the night at Cranborne Abbey, the pair are drawn into something far more dangerous. A haunted abbey. A missing body. A conspiracy reaching into the heart of government. As suspicion falls on them for a murder they may not have committed, Chipp and Pinn find themselves entangled in a web of corruption, criminal enterprise and hidden identities. With a relentless detective closing in and time running out, they must rely on their wits - and each other - to uncover the truth. Set against the richly evocative backdrop of Exeter and Devon in the 1990s, Murder at Cranborne Abbey is a fast-paced comedy crime caper packed with eccentric characters, sharp dialogue, unexpected twists, and a musical soundtrack to accompany the ride. Blending humour with mystery and a touch of the absurd, it is the first in a highly entertaining new series that's both nostalgic and refreshingly irreverent. Featuring a full-colour map of Devon highlighting key locations from the story, this is the perfect read for fans of British crime fiction with a humorous edge - and for anyone who enjoys a mystery that doesn't take itself too seriously.
