## Description

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Miss Marple meets Midsomer Murders!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'I wanted to move to Bishops Wells' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A wholly engaging whodunnit . . . fun and entertaining' When Sam Dee moves to the beautiful Wiltshire village of Bishops Well, he expects a quiet life of country walks and pub lunches. OK, so his new neighbour, Maggie Kaye, is a little peculiar, but she's very nice - and his old pal Richard Ruta lives just down the road. But when Richard throws one of his famous parties, things take a sinister turn. Sam, Maggie and the rest of the guests are dumbfounded when Richard falls down dead. A horrible tragedy - or a cunningly planned murder? With a village full of suspects - and plenty of dark secrets - just who exactly would want to bump off their host? Is there a connection to another mysterious death, nearly twenty years before? Armed with her local knowledge, Maggie - with Sam's reluctant but indispensable help - is soon on the case. But when the body count starts to rise, will sleepy Bishops Well ever be the same again? BOOK ONE IN A TWISTY NEW WHODUNNIT SERIES, FOR FANS OF MERRYN ALLINGHAM'S FLORA STEELE MYSTERIES, THE BELINDA PENSHURST NOVELS AND JOY ELLIS. What readers are saying about Anna Legat: 'Brilliant.
