    About this series

    There is excitement in the air as the travelling theatre arrives in Seal Bay.

    When The Spriggan Travelling Theatre Company arrives in Seal Bay to perform a Cornish version of King Arthur the locals flock to be entertained. But for Morwenna Mutton, sexagenarian librarian, wild swimming enthusiast and amateur sleuth, the theatre brings intrigue too. Actor and director Daniel Kitto is not the most popular member of the cast and unbeknownst to him, his role of Uther Pendragon on the opening night is to be his swansong.

    In front of a horrified audience, he collapses during the dying moments of the performance in a pool of fake blood, and although the police are content that the causes of his death are natural, Morwenna isn’t so sure. And once it becomes clear that there are a number of people who stand to gain from Daniel’s death, Morwenna’s investigation takes a dangerous turn.

    If you love Miss Marple and The Thursday Murder Club, then you'll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries.

    Readers love Judy Leigh and Morwenna Mutton:

    ‘This was an absolute joy to read. I absolutely loved this family and all the surrounding characters in this book… I shall really look forward to the next instalment and finding out what Morwenna's next mystery will be.’

    ‘Morwenna is a new kid on the cozy crime block, and looks likely to become established as a shrewder, tougher and more compassionate contender in the literary world of amateur detectives.’

    ‘This was a lovely read! I got into the story right away, Seal Bay is a fascinating community full of interesting people and what’s not to love about Morwenna? She’s brilliant! I enjoyed trying to solve the crime with her and I adore her eccentric fashion sense and always read what she was wearing with a smile on my face… a wonderful book, a great read and I am looking forward to reading more of Morwenna’s adventures in the future.’

    ‘Judy Leigh has created amateur sleuthing at its finest. I think the novel would make a fabulous television cosy crime drama. It was highly entertaining, most enjoyable, fun and light-hearted. I cannot wait for more of this fabulous series.’

      A brand-new series perfect for Richard Osman readers and all fans of a page-turning whodunnit. It was meant to be the start of quiet season in the sleepy Cornish village of Seal Bay, but not for sexagenarian librarian and wild swimming enthusiast Morwenna Mutton. Because when a local businessman is found on the beach with a bread knife is his back, bungling police officer DI Rick Tremayne is soon out of his depth. Morwenna knows it’s going to be down to her to crack the case. The list of people the victim upset is long, the evidence is slight, and an arrest illusive. Morwenna has plenty to occupy her time what with ghostly goings-on at the library and skullduggery at her granddaughter’s school, but she could never resist a challenge. And even the most ruthless of murderers should quake at the sight of this amateur sleuth getting on her bike to track them down. If you love Miss Marple and The Thursday Murder Club, then you'll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries. Readers love Judy Leigh: ‘Loved this from cover to cover, pity I can only give this 5 stars as it deserves far more.’ ‘I loved reading this book, great characters and this author certainly knows how to put a good story together. I'm really looking forward to reading more books by her.’ ‘This author never disappoints, always a joy to find one of her books which I haven’t read.’ ‘This book is yet another triumph from an author who never disappoints me, and very much recommended.’
