About this listen

An absolutely page-turning cosy mystery, where death comes to a small village. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin.

Where there’s a body in Malvern End, there are secrets to be uncovered…

Jude Gray has worked hard to bring a steady equilibrium to life on Malvern Farm and things are going well.

The only fly in the ointment is the foul addition of a new face in the village: staunch townie and chauvinistic sleaze, Des Smith. Jude has nothing but sympathy for his caring, patient wife, Loretta, who has become a regular visitor to the farm for a cup of tea and a chat.

But things take a turn for the worse when a hit and run outside The Lamb brings death once again to the village. Is it an accident or is something more sinister afoot?

Perhaps the answer lies in the stranger with red trainers who’s been seen wandering through the village and through Jude’s fields at night. Following the clues, Jude desperately hopes she will find the right answers, because the murderer being someone she knows is unfathomable…

A totally page-turning mystery novel with unforgettable characters you will love, suspect and enjoy. Fans of Faith Martin and Frances Evessham will love the Malvern Mystery series!

Kate Wells has pulled it out of the bag again. dare I say that I enjoyed this book even more than the first. The story is well researched and very cleverly written, lots of plot twists which kept me guessing right until the end.
The narrator was fantastic and really brought the story to life with a great performance. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment!

Brilliant!

Second in this series …and much enjoyed . The plot was complex but not unbelievable,
and the characters interesting and enigmatic enough to keep me guessing for a good while !
I’ll admit to getting an idea of ‘ who done it ‘ but not in a way to spoil the outcome .
Hope there’s another to look forward to .
