A Bloody Merry Murder

Paperback

Emilie Castera and Eve Goodfellow

She was desperate for more followers... they just wanted a nap.

Imagine relocating your family to a twee Cotswold village only for one of the fellow school mums and famous mumfluencer, Gemma, to be killed, live on Instagram. Anxiety-riddled Rowena is questioning her new life, when she meets born and bred Upper Huxleyan mum, Mary, who hoodwinks her into solving the case to save Gemma’s husband, Matthew, from a life in prison for a crime she is convinced he didn’t commit.

Together they embark on a mulled-wine-fuelled sleuthing adventure while navigating a busy social calendar, playground politics and sleep deprivation.

Follow this exhausted detective duo on a festive romp in the first case of the Anonymums series, for fans of Motherland and Richard Osman.
