    About this audiobook

    The next thrilling Ham-Hill Murder Mystery from bestselling cosy crime author Frances Evesham.
    A winning horse. A fierce rivalry. A sudden death.

    Belinda Sandford thrills to the cheers of the crowd as her beautiful grey racehorse, ‘Butterfly Charm’, thunders past the finishing post first at Wincanton Racecourse. She feels like the luckiest girl in the world.

    But joy soon turns to despair as a stewards’ enquiry overturns the result and awards the race to her long-time rival, Alexandra Deacon.

    When Alex is found dead in suspicious circumstances, a host of accusing eyes turn to Belinda and her distraught mother begs Adam Hennessy, her neighbour, retired police officer and publican, to help clear her daughter’s name.

    As Adam, and local hotelier Imogen Bishop, dig deep into the murky and powerful undercurrents of the horse racing world, they lay bare the lives and loves of local jockeys, grooms, trainers and owners.

    They soon uncover a web of secrets hidden within the spectacular Somerset countryside as they strive to find the killer in time to prevent more murders.

    A brand new cosy mystery series from the bestselling author of A Village Murder, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Betty Rowlands and M.C. Beaton.

      A cosy and tender story about a murder in the village on Race Day. The plot makes you care about the characters and the narrator does a great job. Worth a listen to have as background while you work.
    • 4/5
      A cozy murder mystery set in Somerset. I really enjoyed the development of the characters.
