Synopsis

Up on the hill above Cherringham sits Mabb’s Farm. It’s a place with a dark history dating back to the seventeenth century—a time when locals lived in fear of the devil, and witches were burnt at the stake. Legend has it that the farm—and all who live there—are cursed with misfortune. But is it really just a curse when this year’s crops fail, the livestock sicken, and deadly fires break out? Or is there a hidden reason behind the dangerous events? Neither Jack nor Sarah believe in the supernatural, and soon they uncover very human suspects.Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, this cozy detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly—but with a spot of tea—it’s like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.
