Murder at the Well

A gripping cozy murder mystery for 2023.

A perfect cosy crime for fans of M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series.

While Sophie and her friends celebrate Valentine's Night in The Bluebird, a dead body plummets to the bottom of the village well - and nobody hears it fall.

In this close-knit community where everyone knows each other's business, is it possible for anyone to get away with murder?

Sophie's about to find out - and to discover some extraordinary secrets about her boyfriend Hector and his family along the way.

Colourful new characters join the regular Wendlebury cast in this cozy village mystery by bestselling author Debbie Young.
