The quiet life of Malvern Farm was about to become seriously disrupted by the arrival of a film crew to carry out live broadcasts for the hit TV Show Countryside Live in the lead up to Christmas.

Jude Gray is preparing for the wedding of her sister Lucy after Christmas and is hopeful all will go well with the preparations as well as the filming of the Christmas Special, but it is only days into the arrival of the film crew when the best laid plans begin to falter.  

The Director, Dean is demanding, Annie Bird, beloved presenter of the show, along with her husband Simon North, has an anaphylactic reaction on camera and Mary, one of the camera crew is found dead.

Kate Wells sets the scene for an intriguing murder mystery in A Very Merry Murder which once again sees Jude doing her best to keep out of trying to solve a murder, coping with the endless demands of Dean, as she reminds herself that the money will come in useful, and  juggling her daily tasks of looking after the livestock on her lovely farm.

When a second murder is committed Jude realises she is the best person to watch and see what is going on within the film crew, as so many small things she has noticed over the past week simply don’t add up.  Suspicion falls on all the members of the film crew, particularly Simon North, but once again, nothing quite fits!

Sit back and enjoy this latest cozy murder from Kate Wells  set in the charming and peaceful English Countryside of Malvern, with a real twist in the tale and see if you can work out ‘who did it’ before the final page.
