Leonie Swann: Author. Success Was Not On The List


Listen Later

Leonie Swann is the bestselling author of Glennkill/Three Bags Full.  Her debut novel Glennkill sold 100,000 copies in six months when published in her native Germany.  Now Cambridge, UK  based, Leonie's fifth novel, The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp was published in September 2023.

The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp
One murder to solve and another to cover up. It’ll be tricky, but the OAP residents of Sunset Hall are going to give it their best shot.

Sunset Hall is a house-share for the old and unruly, led by Agnes Sharp. It’s an eventful day when this group of idiosyncratic geriatrics gets a visit from the police to inform them of some shocking news: a body has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face, but they are secretly relieved that the body in question is not the one they’re currently hiding in the shed (sorry about that, Lillith). Now the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen into their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbour, so they can pin Lillith’s death on them, thus killing two old birds with one stone.

To investigate, the group (not forgetting Hettie the tortoise) will venture into the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with sinister bakers, broken stair lifts, inept criminals and their own dark secrets.
