Description

An amateur sleuth is tasked with clearing the name of an accused man…

Julia Ford’s dream of running a bookshop in the small Somerset town of Biddle Rhyne is fast becoming a nightmare, with the lack of traffic and high running costs.

So when the door opens, she hopes it will be a wealthy customer. Rather it is a desperate man – a local accountant whom the police have fingered for murder.

Having gained a reputation for solving crimes, Julia takes pity on the dishevelled Mr Cutty – even though he doesn’t buy a book – and vows to help him.

Yet the victim was seen arguing with Cutty, and named him in her dying breath. No wonder the police are intent on charging him.

With a village fête on the horizon and local tempers running high over the planned bake-off, will Julia manage to unravel the mystery?

MURDER ON A SPRING DAY is the third standalone mystery in this funny series set in rural England. The full list of books, all FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback, is as follows:

1. MURDER ON A COUNTRY LANE
2. MURDER IN A SOMERSET VILLAGE

Definitely a cozy murder mystery with a few laughs thrown in. Not really my thing but if you enjoy something light on the murder/mystery spectrum then this is the one for you. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

This is the third book in a series of cosy mysteries featuring bookshop owner Julia Ford as the protagonist.

This had the cosiness that I was hoping for, and was easily light enough to read in one sitting. I find Julia a likeable character, and some elements of her personality make me chuckle, but it's also easy to take her seriously. As the writing here is so light and easy to read, I wouldn't have minded if this book had been slightly longer.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

A delightful cozy mystery with humour and a solid mystery. I enjoyed it and the solid mystery kept me guessing.
