A village production, a murdered director, and a retirement community in uproar.
Malvern View Retirement Village is buzzing with excitement when a drama production is announced. Rehearsals promise laughter, creativity, and a welcome distraction from everyday routines. But it doesn't take long for cracks to appear. Tempers fray, jealousies simmer, and the show's flamboyant director proves to be as dismissive as he is self-centred - with a habit of charming the wrong people.
Then he's found dead.
With rehearsals halted and suspicion spreading faster than village gossip, Charity once again finds herself sorting through tangled motives and bruised egos. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has a grievance, and everyone seems to have something to hide.
But when Dorothy vanishes while quietly following a promising lead, the case turns urgent. As panic rises and time runs out, Charity realises help may come from the most unexpected source - Dorothy's elderly but loyal dog, Eddie.
With Muffin by her side, Eddie on the trail, and the entire village holding its breath, Charity must uncover the truth, rescue her friend, and bring a killer to justice before the final curtain falls.
A warm, gently humorous cozy mystery full of dogs, friendship, village drama, and triumph in later life.
Perfect for fans of:
- Senior sleuths - female amateur detectives
- Retirement village cozy mysteries
- Amateur detectives with loyal dogs
- English village whodunits with heart and humour
- Friendship, community, and wagging tails
