By an author local to me this book’s location is inspired by a nearby village, and as a fellow village dweller, much resonated!!

It’s a murder mystery, the first part of a series featuring teacher turned amateur detective, Stephanie Rhodes.

Alongside her day job and her budding relationship with village returnee, Mark - Stephanie becomes embroiled in an investigation when she stumbles across a dead body.

A fun, entertaining read with characters you want to cheer on, and ones I’m looking forward to knowing more on later instalments!
