A Body in the Village Hall: A Kate Palmer Mystery (Book 1)

When Kate Palmer and her sister Angie relocate to the Cornish village of Lower Tinworthy, it marks the start of what should be a new beginning for the siblings. But within weeks of the pair moving into picturesque Lavender Cottage, there’s a murder in the close knit community! A woman is found dead in the village hall with her blood stained kitchen knife beside her body. Kate, a practice nurse at the local medical centre, starts piecing together the clues. Although Fenella was at the centre of village activity, there are plenty of people who disliked her but did any of them hate her enough to want to kill her? As Kate is drawn further into village life, she strikes up a close friendship with Detective Inspector ‘Woody’ Forrest, who is nearing retirement and determined to crack his last case. Together, they set about solving the crime but when someone breaks into Kate’s home and leaves a threatening note on her pillow, it’s clear the murderer will stop at nothing to hide their identity.
