THIS MYSTERY HAS THEM IN A CHOKEHOLD...





Claire Hendricks can see ghosts. But that doesn't make solving murders any easier...





Pro-wrestling manager Ken King is convinced his late father is haunting his Brighton gym and he hires medium-turned-private-investigator Claire to help his beloved dad move on to the next life.





But Eddie can't because he's adamant he was murdered, and he tasks Claire with bringing his killer to justice.





In the world of pro-wrestling, can she work out what's real, who's faking and unmask the killer once and for all?

Laugh-out-loud funny. If this is cosy crime, let's have more of it



About as good as modern murder mystery gets. Warm, very funny and absolutely fizzing with wit and originality.



I adore Alice Bell's biting wit, fabulous characters, and the creative set-up of her murder mysteries. The Grapples of Wrath is another cracking addition to the series, with the added flair of some unforgettable pro-wrestling characters and a wonderful Brighton backdrop. Come for the spooky humour, stay for the satisfying twists and turns. An absolute delight from start to finish.



Just so much fun. I raced through Alice Bell's third book - characters you can't help but root for and lots of sneaky twists and turns. I loved it.



So much fun! Tight, funny and a well-woven mystery. This is what the world needs right now!



A rollicking, hilarious, breakneck caper that reunites readers with my absolute favourite mismatched and ghostly sleuths. This book will blast away the cobwebs and make you laugh out loud. Perhaps best put in the words of one of her deader characters, Alice Bell is an absolute tonic!



Hilarious, outrageous, and mysterious. The spooky ABC team strikes again, and Alice Bell continues to deliver with every book in this wonderful series



Warm, smart, and laugh-out-loud funny - an absolute joy



Delightful ... effortlessly funny. It deserves to be enormous!



A cracking romp of a read! Agatha Christie meets Ghosts



Fast, funny and furious ... Alice Bell writes with real verve



Read this fabulous book - you will not regret it
