The Seven Swans has waited a long time for a true heart to come along, even within a flawed and lovelorn sixty-year-old man, and will fling him into a crucible of mysteries and dangers set in the pub's deep past, to give Spencer Stevens and the Seven Swans a second chance for happiness. What readers are saying: Take a wry protagonist with a cast of quirky fren-emies, add a dash of Wodehousian wit, mix in a mystery that would stump Miss Marple, throw it all through time, and you have the charming and delightful Seven Swans Mysteries.
