A May Day Murder

Frances Evesham is BACK with her gripping mystery series set in an idyllic village nestled beneath Ham Hill in Somerset, full of quirky characters, and cracking clues.

Spring is in the air in Somerset. So is murder — and a past that won’t stay buried.

When Imogen Bishop agrees to host a literary festival at her hotel in the charming Somerset village of Lower Hembrow, the local authors and villagers anticipate a weekend of books, banter and gossip. But the mood darkens almost as soon as the festival begins. Unexpected guests arrive, dragging Imogen’s writer friend Steph Aldred back towards a past she thought she’d left firmly behind. Then a local author dies in an explosion at the village hall, and Imogen, Steph and their partners are drawn into a dangerous investigation that threatens to shatter their peaceful countryside lives. What has brought Steph’s buried past roaring back? And can the friends unravel the secrets of a sinister society before its next move proves deadly?
