About this ebook

A joke? A prank? Or something more sinister?

When the Exham-on-Sea residents are targeted by anonymous emails containing apparently harmless nursery rhymes, no one knows whether to laugh or shudder until an unexplained death touches the town.

Libby Forest, baker, chocolatier and Exham’s very own resident private investigator, alongside her partner Max Ramshore, set out to solve the puzzle before more people die. But when Max’s ex-wife arrives on the scene, ahead of Max and Libby's long-awaited nuptials, things go from bad to worse.

With the town and their relationship under threat, Max and Libby need the help of the Exham History Society if they're going to find the nursery rhyme killer in time.

Murder at the Gorge is the seventh in a series of Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries set at the small English seaside town full of quirky characters, sea air, and gossip.

Packed with everything that makes a good murder mystery! When several locals receive emails containing nursery rhymes everyone assumes it's a joke, but when one of the recipients is found dead it takes on a more sinister slant. Libby and Max are called upon to find out what it's all about but, with their wedding drawing ever closer, they could have done without the re-appearance of Max's ex-wife. With things becoming fraught between them, the pair of investigators need to get to the bottom of things and quickly - can the local history society point them in the right direction? This is my first novel in this series, and it certainly won't be the last as this kind of mystery is right up my street. A wide range of characters and plentiful suspects, it takes a bit of brain work to uncover the guilty. Along with the investigation, there is lots of other stuff going on and it all adds up to a very enjoyable read. The author has the balance just right with the range of residents of all differing personalities and - it won't surprise anyone to know - I adored the animals too. As with all the best enigmas, it's all plausible which just adds to the story. A thoroughly good novel, recommended to lovers of a good murder mystery and one I'm happy to give 4.5*.

pets, family-dynamics, friendship, threats, murder, murder-investigation, England, amateur-sleuth, cosy-mystery***** Libby Forest, (baker, chocolatier) and her soon to be second husband Max Ramshore (professional internet sleuth) are up to their necks in the latest murder and weirdness. Some nutter is targeting some people both locally and some related to locals (like Max's less than delightful ex wife) with emails of personalized nursery rhymes. The first murder victim apparently didn't get her email until after her death, and the police are mystifies enough to hire Max to help. Lots of family issues when they'd rather just be seeing to their wedding, but the murderer wasn't done yet. Good sleuthing and interesting characters backed up by some lovely dogs. I enjoyed it very much! I requested and received a free ebook from Boldwood Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
