Synopsis

A lovely little spot for murder!

Not much happens in Biddle Rhyne, a quiet, picturesque village in the southwest of England. Especially if you don't count the meat raffle on a Thursday night and the odd sheep escaping a field.

However, that's all set to change when Julia Ford, a normal(ish) twenty-something who works in the local pub, stumbles upon a murder victim.

Upsetting, but not the end of the world. Particularly as the victim is Audrey White, the cantankerous owner of a nearby garden center.

But when the police discover Julia had argued with the woman in the past, and her fingerprints are found on a death threat, she is accused of the crime, and her life is turned upside down.

Released on police bail and encumbered with an unfetching ankle tag, Julia will have to clear her own name.

Yet the murderer is intent that she takes the fall. Will Julia land on her feet?

I found this book lovely to read. As someone from a small village myself I felt instantly transported to those small country lanes. The imagery and language used set the tone really well. It's funny, has twists and is a really great read.......more

Being a fan of police procedurals I like the occasional cosy mystery to make for a more gentle read which attracted me to this book. Sadly it wasn't one for me. I found the main character irritating & sadly this didn't work for me. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review thi......more

Goodreads review by Annette on October 25, 2024

Disappointing As much as I heard about this series, book one is a bit disappointing. The storyline is not bad, but the writing could use some help. If it wasn't for few funnies along the way, 3 stars would have been too much. Sorry.......more
