Pick up your copy of Dire Traits today and hold on tight - it's going to be a wild, wonderful, and wickedly witty ride!

Fresh from solving a string of mysteries in New Zealand, menopausal superheroine Euphemia Sage travels to the idyllic English village of Coldsham to visit her distant cousins and help relocate the family foundation. But danger seems to follow Euphemia wherever she goes - before long, someone starts making attempts on her life in this supposedly peaceful Cotswold setting.

As Euphemia races to unmask the incompetent assassin, she uncovers dark secrets from her own mother's past in Coldsham. With her faithful sidekick Jane along for the adventure, Euphemia must use her quick wit and burgeoning superpowers to protect herself, save her friends from peril, and get to the bottom of an insidious village conspiracy. Family drama, love triangles, and a centuries-old supernatural mystery will keep you guessing until the very last page!

Euphemia is on top form in this action-packed, humorous page-turner that combines cozy mystery with urban fantasy. Readers will delight as the indomitable quinquagenarian sleuth navigates criminal threats, comic romantic entanglements, the challenges of leading her late aunt's foundation, and mastering her menopause-triggered abilities. Dire Traits serves up an irresistible blend of laughs, intrigue, and suspense - the perfect escapist read.
Don't miss this chance to catch up with Euphemia, Jane, and a colorful new crew of friends and foes. The stakes have never been higher or more personal in this rollicking fifth outing.

I really enjoyed it the book was a compulsive and funny read with great development of characters. A good summer holidays book and so sad to know it is the last in the series- but can’t wait for Rosy Fenwicke’s new book comes out next year, this author knows how to twist and turn her plots presenting new characters of complex natures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling next chapter in the Euphemia Sage story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2023

It’s one of those series that is immediately easy to get back into. Jane’s still snoring, Euphemia’s wanting to do more with her powers and the excitement just keeps on coming.

It was great to be back in the world of this 50+ superhero and see how she’s developed throughout the series. I recommend this book to anyone wanting a fast paced, cosy mystery with a super atypical heroine who inspires us to grow stronger and be better as we age!
