What to expect
'I quite simply loved this book ... the wonderful detail of a farm so realistically evoked' Frances Evesham
Lambing season always brings the unexpected… But no one expected murder
Jude Gray never thought she’d find herself widowed and running a working farm full-time, but here she is, living in the small Malvern village her husband Adam spent most of his life in.
After a particularly gruelling lambing season, she is looking forward to some time off, but there’s no rest for the wicked, especially when she finds the body of one of Adam’s oldest friends on her farm.
Unimpressed with the local constabulary's efforts, Jude starts an investigation of her own. But as the body count rises, danger creeps ever closer to Malvern Farm.
A killer is on the prowl. And all that stands in their way is one woman – and her dog.
- '...the wonderful detail of a farm so realistically evoked that I swear I could smell the manure, and ... the brave, determined and sympathetic character of Jude Gray herself' Frances Evesham, author of A Village Murder

'A cryptically clever cosy mystery that will transport you to the beautiful Malvern Hills. I couldn’t put it down!' Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates
