The Importance of Being Murdered (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781835185711)

The BRAND NEW page-turning cozy mystery from Debbie Young, perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie

ONE VILLAGE. TEN SUSPECTS. ONE DEADLY PERFORMANCE.

The curtain is about to rise on the Bunbury Players' latest production, Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest.

But moments before the show starts, the leading man, retired star of stage and screen Bertram Manchester, is found dead in his dressing room.

As rumours spread throughout the Cotswold village community, Detective Constable Windermere seizes her chance to catch a killer and secure the promotion she craves.

The trouble is, every member of the cast has something to hide.

Will her front-row seat to murder enable DC Windermere to uncover the truth ... or will she be the next person taking their last bow?
