What to expect
Yorkshire, 1969. Nell Lewis is four months into her new role as governor of HMP Brackerley when the prison takes on a catering contract for Brackerley village's wedding of the year.
Almost all the female inmates are delighted to be involved in the celebrations, though Linda is desperate to avoid the event in case she is spotted, photographed, and once more appears on the front pages of the gutter press.
During the wedding reception, one of the inmates discovers the father of the bride, Mr Chapin, stabbed to death behind the marquee.
The murder shocks the close-knit village and police enlist Nell's help to solve the mystery. There are multiple suspects at the wedding, all with strong motives for wanting Mr Chapin dead, but the prison workforce was closest to the scene of the crime . . .
The second historical mystery in the Brackerley Prison series from bestselling author Frances Brody. This is the perfect locked room page-turner for fans of Agatha Christie and Jacqueline Winspear.

Critics Review
-
Praise for Frances Brody:
-
Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers
Daily Mail -
Has a charm, and mystery, all of its own
The Times -
Brody’s writing is like her central character Kate Shackleton: witty, acerbic and very, very perceptive
Ann Cleeves -
Kate Shackleton is a splendid heroine
Ann Granger -
With a competent, dynamic and likeable heroine, and an environment packed with stories great and small, it’s hard to see how this series would fail
