Description
When the body of a young woman is discovered in the cowshed of Cricket farm, the tranquility of the British countryside is shattered. Inspector Jess Campbell is on the case, but with few leads, a grumbling partner, and the new Superintendent Ian Carter piling on the pressure, she’s beginning to wonder why she chose to be a detective in the first place.
The shifty land-owner Eli Smith seems to have something to hide, and as Campbell delves into the gruesome past of the dilapidated farm, the mystery deepens. A flashy Mercedes spotted fleeing the scene of the crime leads to a suspect, but when another body turns up, it looks as though Campbell’s lead is nothing but a dead end…
Book one in the Campbell and Carter Mysteries, Mud, Muck and Dead things will thrill fans of M C Beaton, Joy Ellis and The Midsomer Murders.

Juliet Campbell is having a hard enough time solving the murder of a woman found in a barn in a rural English village. She also has to contend with a foul tempered partner and a boss who’s never satisfied. People in the small community aren’t exactly forthcoming, but Juliet is particularly interested in Eli Smith, a man with plenty of secrets and an ugly past. Just as she thinks she’s got her man, Juliet has to start from scratch when another woman is killed while her suspect is in custody. If you’re looking for an English village cozy with no gore or overt violence, this is the book for you
