Gil Mayo

Gil Mayo is the central character in Marjorie Eccles’s series of cozy mysteries, blending a humorous and lighthearted tone with classic small-town intrigue. The books follow Mayo, a somewhat hapless but ultimately perceptive antiques dealer, as he investigates local puzzles and solves crimes in the charming village of Wickham. Eccles’s distinctive style relies on witty dialogue, eccentric characters, and a focus on the joys of collecting and a gentle, observant detective.
