Today we are overjoyed to launch our brand-new Ostara Classics list with four critically acclaimed crime mysteries by V.C. Clinton-Baddeley, each available for the special launch price of just £0.99 | $0.99.
In the words of Joffe Books publisher, Jasper Joffe:
‘I'm delighted to introduce a new series of classic crime mysteries, which heralds the launch of our brand-new Ostara Classics list. V.C. Clinton-Baddeley’s charming series featuring mild-mannered, opera-loving Cambridge academic Dr Davie will appeal to anyone who loves a traditional, character-led mystery with a beautiful setting.
Originally published in the 1960s, these critically-acclaimed cozy mysteries are little gems — and great value for money. We are excited to be introducing a whole new generation of readers to the books, or if you have read them before, we are happy to reintroduce old friends. Enjoy!’
