Murder at the Magnolia Fete?: A DI Bramble Mystery

Grumblewood's Magnolia Fete promises sunshine, jam competitions, and bad brass-band music. What no one expects is murder.

When the formidable Daphne Honeywell collapses after tasting her own award-winning jam, DI Margot Bramble quickly discovers this is no kitchen mishap. Someone tampered with the jars - not once, but twice. And in a village where everyone has something to hide, that means a long list of suspects.

Was it the humiliated rival?
The panicked judge?
The hidden entrant?
Or someone far quieter... and far more dangerous?

With a young witness fearful for his life, a vicar guarding a painful secret, and a handyman willing to do anything to protect his family, Margot races to uncover the truth before the real murderer slips away.

A witty, twisty, character-driven whodunit set in a village full of charm, pettiness, and deadly jam.
