Murder in Raven's Barn

The countryside is quiet, but only until someone dies.

Deaf Georgina Drake has escaped London for Norfolk, bought an old farm where she rents out a room, and wants nothing but peace and quiet. But the rural idyll comes to an abrupt end when she finds her guest, Professor Garnett, dead in his bed.

The list of suspects quickly grows, and Georgina finds herself on it, along with her closest friends. It turns out that more than one lady in Little Wenborough has a motive for murder. But when more murder attempts follow, Georgina's life is on the line.

To protect herself and clear her name, she must launch her own investigation. But Professor Garnett's murder isn't the only mystery she'll have to solve. It seems her Raven Farm has a troubled past that still lingers within its walls.

A suspenseful, witty and charming story for all lovers of classic detective stories and the British countryside. Ideal for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and the Midsomer Murders series.
