During a memorial service in St Eves for the victims of a crash that killed five people exactly one year before, a scream rings out and an unpopular member of the small town is found dead, lying against a gravestone in the cemetery.
When it comes to light that the victim was murdered hours before the scream was heard, detectives get to work to solve the puzzling mystery, and amateur sleuth Charlotte, along with her old friend Ava, start doing a little detective work of their own.
When the shocking truth behind the murder, and the crash, is revealed, and a killer is finally brought to justice, the close-knit community takes a collective breath, and life starts to get back to normal.
But then, tragedy strikes...
This is a clean, small-town, culinary cozy mystery with characters who'll stay with you long after you've finished reading, and recipes for you to try. It contains no graphic violence, language, sex, or cliffhangers.
Fans of Agatha Frost and HY Hanna may like this cozy mystery, written by mystery author Sherri Bryan using British English spelling and terminology.
When Sherri doesn't have her nose in a book, you'll most likely find her scribbling down ideas for new stories, tapping away on her laptop, rustling up something experimental in the kitchen, or out with her rescue dog, Lulu, who has her well and truly wrapped around her little paw.
