Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries set in rural Britain where the landscape and farm life feel as real as the crimes themselves.
You like your amateur sleuths smart and determined, solving cases when official channels fail or disappoint.
You appreciate character-driven plots where the protagonist's circumstances (widowhood, isolation, new responsibility) shape how they investigate.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced thrillers with professional investigators and high-stakes action over methodical small-town mysteries.
You're uncomfortable with detailed descriptions of farm work and animal husbandry woven through the narrative.
You want cosy mysteries that are purely light entertainment without genuine danger or a rising body count.

About this book

Jude Gray unexpectedly finds herself running a working farm full-time in the small Malvern village where her late husband Adam spent most of his life. After a demanding lambing season, she discovers the body of one of Adam's oldest friends on her farm. Dissatisfied with the local police investigation, Jude begins her own inquiry into the death. As the body count rises and danger approaches Malvern Farm, Jude—aided by her dog—pursues the investigation. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a working farm in the Malvern Hills, where farm animals and local residents present their own complications. This is the first book in The Malvern Mysteries series.
