Murder, mystery... and marrows
Murder, mystery...and marrows
‘As addictive and glorious as a scrumptious cream tea’ Nicola May
Some people would describe Beattie Bramshaw as a pillar of the community. Many would applaud her numerous successes in the bakery competition at the annual village show. A small number might say, if pushed, that they find her a little on the bossy side. And one or two might just whisper the words ‘interfering’ and ‘busybody’ behind her back.
But no one would have her down as a murderer.
So why is she being questioned in Dreighton police station after being found in the village allotments, at the dead of night, wielding a kitchen knife just yards away from where local lottery winner, Yvonne Richards, was found stabbed to death? And what does all of this have to do with Doug Sparrow’s prize marrows?
Marrow Jam is a comedy crime caper that will have you chuckling with glee.
