Murder by the Book by Debbie Young

While Sophie Sayers and her friends celebrate Valentine's Night in The Bluebird, a dead body plummets to the bottom of the village well - and nobody hears it fall.

In this close-knit community where everyone knows each other's business, is it possible for anyone to get away with murder?

Sophie's about to find out - and to discover some extraordinary secrets about her boyfriend Hector and his family along the way.

Colourful new characters join the regular Wendlebury cast in this laugh-out-loud cosy mystery tale of love, friendship, loyalty and family ties.

The fourth in the Sophie Sayers Village Mystery series, which runs the course of a village year from one summer to the next.

Debbie Young lives and writes in a small Gloucestershire village, which inspires and informs her novels, which are set in a rural Cotswolds environment and are full of mystery, mayhem, and humour. Sophie Sayers Village Mysteries (novels), Staffroom at St Bride's - School Shops for Adults (novels), and Tales from Wendlebury Barrow (fast reads of novelette or novella length) are her three established series. Secrets at St Bride's, one of her novels, was shortlisted for the Bookbrunch Selfies Awards for best independently published fiction in the UK in 2020.
