Frequently Asked Questions

What is "A Very Merry Murder" about?

The BRAND NEW brilliantly addictive, festive cozy mystery! Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Mary Grand and Frances Evesham! ✨

Mistletoe, mince pies… and murder!

When Jude Gray inherited Malvern Farm, she never thought she’d become so used to farm life, let alone be good at it! But now a beloved national TV show is coming to film their Christmas special on her land, celebrating the charm of rural living.

At least, that’s the plan… until one of the crew is found dead in suspicious circumstances.

At first, it looks like a tragic accident, but when alibis start to crack, it seems like anything but. With a growing list of suspects and enough behind-the-scenes drama to rival anything the cameras are capturing, Jude must dig deep to uncover the truth.

Because someone on her farm is hiding a deadly secret – and this year, the season of goodwill may come with a killer twist…

You can't miss this page-turning festive mystery set in the beautiful English countryside!
