A totally unputdownable, addictive murder mystery🔪, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Mary Grand and Frances Evesham! ✨Salutations, sunrise… and sabotage.
Jude Gray is delighted to hear that her friend Kerry is setting up a wellness retreat with her new boyfriend. If anyone deserves to find peace and happiness, it’s Kerry and a retreat at the foot of the Malvern Hills sounds perfect. So Jude – as any good friend would – offers to pitch in.
But the appearance of charismatic keynote speaker Inigo Sage sets Jude’s instincts on edge. With his mystical mantras and too-perfect smile, he strikes her as more showman than spiritual guide. Still, he keeps the guests happy, and with a few unexpected extra arrivals, Jude and Kerry certainly have their hands full.
When a fatal accident shatters the peace, the weekend of relaxation descends into anything but tranquility. And Jude learns that Inigo’s connections to many of those at the retreat go back decades, and their shared secrets have been deeply buried.
As tensions flare and old resentments bubble to the surface, can Jude find the truth before someone else gets hurt?
While this novel features the same characters as the other books in the Malvern Fam Mysteries series, it can be read as a STANDALONE
