About this listen

 For Alice and her partner Joe, moving to the sleepy Cotswold village of Penton is a chance to embrace country life and prepare for the birth of their unexpected first child. He can take up woodwork; maybe she'll learn to make jam. But the rural idyll they'd hoped for doesn't quite pan out when a dead body is discovered at their local antenatal class and they find themselves suspects in a murder investigation.

With a cloud of suspicion hanging over the heads of the whole group, Alice sets out to solve the mystery and clear her name, with the help of her troublesome dog, Helen. However, there are more secrets and tensions in the heart of Penton than first meet the eye. Between the discovery of a shady commune up in the woods, the unearthing of a mysterious death years earlier and the near-tragic poisoning of Helen, Alice is soon in way over her head.

Can she and her friends - with the hindrance of Helen - uncover the truth before tragedy strikes again . . . or her waters break?©2023 Katherine Sumner-Ailes (P)2023 Bonnier Books UK Cosy Detective Literature & Fiction Mystery Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Fiction Village Comedy Suspense

I couldn’t turn it off/ put it down. Defo looking forward to the next. I could so imagine this could happen in real life. Nice to end to the story
