Julia Bird and her significant other, Dr Sean O'Connor, along with their dogs, Jake the chocolate Labrador and Leo, Sean's much calmer dog, attended the annual fete at Berrywick House, Julia carrying the chocolate cake she had baked for the competition and to raise funds. They both wandered around, checking out the various stalls until they decided to head toward the maze for some quiet. But it was when Jake pulled away from Julia and ran off, with her chasing him, that they discovered the body of a woman, with Jake sitting guard by her side.
With the police on the case, Julia set her mind to looking for clues. The victim was a school teacher, one who was soon retiring, but there were also other things about her that maybe led to her demise. And when a second body was found, it seemed the two cases were linked. Could Julia find the answers before anyone else lost their life?
A Village Fete Murder is the 3rd in the Julia Bird Mysteries by Katie Gayle and I enjoyed it very much. Light and entertaining, with a great murder mystery, the characters are fun, especially Julie, Sean and their dogs. I'm looking forward to #4 when it's published. Highly recommended.
With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.
