Eleanor Trewynn is a widow of some years living in Port Mabyn, a small fishing village in Cornwall, England. In her younger days, she traveled the exotic parts of the world with her husband. These days she's retired and founded the local charity shop. Her niece, Megan Pencarrow, transferred nearby and was recently promoted to the rank of Detective Sergeant. Perhaps the only downside is that she is now working for a DI who doesn't approve of women on the police force and who really doesn't much approve of Megan's aunt Eleanor, as she is something of a thorn in his rather substantial side.
All of these factors collide when, the day after collecting donations, Eleanor and the vicar's wife find the dead body of a long-haired, scruffy-looking youth hidden in the stockroom of the charity shop. Then they discover that some donated jewelry thought to be fake is actually very real, very expensive, and the haul from a violent robbery in London. Making matters more complex, the corpse found in the storeroom is apparently not one of the robbers.
Carola Dunn's Manna from Hades is a confounding Cornish case of daring theft, double-cross, and a wily older woman confronted by a case of murder most foul.

This one is for women who have That boss. You know who he is. He puts his deadline work on your pile, asking you to look it over by tomorrow, has you drive so he can work, then shows you the rubbing on the car from the weeds, and has you pick up and pay for lunch.
Discount women of any age at your own expense

The narrator is one I've particularly enjoyed in other series. She is comforting to hear. In this story she really hashed the white South African accent badly. She sounded more like someone doing a poor job of a Mumbai accent.
Actually, I truly enjoyed this story and I do recommend it. It's not Agatha Christie by any means, but it's a nice cosy.
Nice cosy mystery for an Autumn evening
