MURDER BY INVITATION

A British cosy crime thriller (Judith Spears Book 1)

By: Sam Oman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

You are cordially invited to a murder…

Judith Spears was looking forward to a quiet retirement in her picture-perfect English village. Unfortunately, peace and quiet were never really her thing.

When a loud-mouthed local media celebrity is accused of murder on his country estate, Judith finds herself dragged back into the business of uncovering the truth. He insists he’s been framed — and for reasons she’d rather not explain, Judith is uniquely qualified to help.

As lies unravel and secrets surface, Judith’s sharp instincts prove invaluable… though she’s far less keen on the interest being taken by the wonderfully persistent DS Raymond Collins and DC Sarah Eastly. The last thing she needs is her own colourful past becoming part of the investigation.

Because one thing’s for certain: retirees are never as dull as they seem.

A warm, witty cozy crime mystery packed with eccentric characters and gentle twists — perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Tom Hindle, and Ian Moore.

An enjoyable cozy mystery

Everything was pulled together in the end. I’m not so sure real detectives would go along so easily with Judith’s plans.

Very entertaining

I loved it! I’m a big fan of murder mystery, and this one was very entertaining and engaging. I also like that it didn’t have anything inappropriate it. Nowadays it’s hard to find clean content.
