Murder at Vanmoor Village - Peter Jay Black

When their motorhome takes a nosedive into a frozen river, food consultant Ruth Morgan and her grandson find themselves stranded in a quaint British village. However, things take a sinister turn as an artist goes missing, a landlady tumbles to her death, and they're left holding a stolen locket linked to a missing person case.

Ruth's sleuthing instincts take over, but the discovery of the artist's car paints a grim picture - the body in the driver's seat is a stranger. With the local sergeant blocking her every move, and a killer lurking among the eccentric villagers, Ruth must use her former police skills to expose the truth.

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.
