Publisher's Summary

She was dressed in a long white gown, embroidered with tiny flowers. Her body was wrapped in colourful ribbons that floated in the breeze. But underneath the swathe of golden hair, a string of darkly smudged bruises ringed her neck.

As May Day dawns in the peaceful village of Middle Fenton, a young woman is found brutally strangled, her body tied up with ribbons in the middle of the green. A week later, her boyfriend is found hanged in a local barn, and the police assume guilt over murdering his beloved has driven him to suicide—but not everyone is convinced.

WPC Trudy Loveday and coroner Clement Ryder are sent to investigate, and quickly realise that there’s a double murderer on the loose.

But the killer has already shown willingness to remove anyone who threatens to discover their identity....

As Trudy and Clement circle in on the culprit, can they crack the case before they too come to a nasty end?

Perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, LJ Ross and Val McDermid, this is one murder mystery you won’t be able to put down!

good

A cozy for people who can't stand cozies. I really like this series. I found it on Audible. The series starter sounded good and for the cost of less than a credit, I thought I'd give it a try. Totally worth it.
The characters are likable, believable and well developed and the setting is vivid and carefully researched. You really do feel like you're in small town England in the early 60s. It can be hard to make period pieces feel authentic, but this one does. No awkward anachronisms.
The plot went in an unexpected direction and it kept me guessing the killer's identity right up to the end.
It was good. It's a reliable series. I'm always happy to see a new installment.
