This is no peaceful walk in the countryside…
Synopsis:
When Jude Gray and DI Binnie Khatri join a local walking group, their expectations for a peaceful outing to the Malvern Hills takes a grim turn. Arguments abound, and the hike ends in tragedy when one of the walkers is found dead in her car.
Initially ruled as an accident, Jude's instincts tell her there’s more to the story.
As Jude and Binnie dig deeper, they uncover tensions and secrets within the group. From hidden affairs to longstanding rivalries, it becomes clear that this death was no accident.
With each revelation, the danger grows. Can Jude and Binnie unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again?
This is book 4 of the Malvern mysteries (the next book coming out in May) and only the second in the series I have read (having accidentally skipped books 2 and 3). In this outing Jude is convinces to try out a walking club, only the pugnacious leader (a retired cop) insists on leading them through a neighboring farmers field, where there had been a prior incident. It's a struggle of personalities- the leader, the group, the farmer, his help, and Jude and Binnie trying to keep tempers from flaring. But when one of the group is killed in an accident after their walk, both Binnie and Jude know there is much more to the story, as everyone's alibis have holes. As they search more into how everyone is connected, they realize there is much more going on behind the scenes than they realized and they've walked into more than a car accident. A quick read, this story moves quickly and keep you guessing almost to the end!
About the Author:
Kate grew up in Malvern on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border and still spends much of her time there. It is her heart's home and the muse for a lot of her writing.
She began her adult life training as a nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital and then moved to Reading where she took a teaching degree. When she took a break to have her two daughters she began creating stories and hasn't stopped writing since!
Having spent time living and working on farms she developed a love of the rural life and often dreamt of running a sheep farm, especially when she married the son of a farmer. It wasn't to be though, so instead, she lives out her farming dreams through researching and writing her books. These days she's often found in a field talking to the sheep, or out on the Malvern Hills walking her border collie cross.
