David Tatnall welcomes you to the world of Marmalade and Toast, where everyday life hides delicious mysteries, neighbours aren’t always what they seem and a perfectly buttered crumpet can solve more problems than it causes. Step inside — the kettle’s on, the clues are waiting and Lady Pumblechook's tortoise is acting very strangely.

Dive into the Marmalade & Toast mysteries – where cosy charm meets deliciously eccentric danger. Follow Colonel Toast and Marmalade as everyday life in 1930s Chandlers Ford unravels into secrets, schemes and wonderfully theatrical chaos. Each book blends humour, heart, and high‑stakes sleuthing in a world where nothing is ever as innocent as it looks. Expect sharp clues, eccentric suspects, and a mystery pace that keeps you turning pages long past bedtime. If you love warm characters, clever plots, and a dash of marmalade‑flavoured mayhem, this is your next favourite series.
