Murder at Vanmoor Village - Peter Jay Black

Trapped in a quaint British village by an unforeseen detour, Ruth Morgan's idyllic escape takes a sinister turn when an artist goes missing and a landlady tumbles to her death. 

Warned by the police not to leave Vanmoor, Ruth's sleuthing instincts take over as the mysteries pile up. The discovery of the artist's car in an abandoned tunnel paints a grim picture, but a shocking twist emerges - the body in the driver's seat is a stranger.

Tension in the village thickens like clotted cream, death lurks behind every painted smile, and with the stakes rising quicker than the bistro's pastries, can Ruth unravel the mystery before it's too late, or has she bitten off more than she can chew?

A series of light-hearted and absorbing whodunnits with a fun amateur sleuth. For fans of modern British mysteries, cozy settings, and female detectives.
