Mystery at the Church

A Totally Unputdownable Cozy Mystery Novel (An Eve Mallow Mystery, Book 6)

By: Clare Chase

Narrated by: Eilidh Beaton

When a TV drama crew descends on sleepy Saxford St. Peter, Eve Mallow joins the excited throng of extras in a funeral scene. But then a real body is found...and Eve gets a starring role as sleuth!

Eve Mallow is looking forward to her 15 minutes of fame when Saxford St. Peter is chosen as the location for a new drama series. A devoted people-watcher, Eve is thrilled to learn that TV stars are just as glamorous - and tempestuous - as she’s always imagined.

But then someone delivers a bouquet of poisonous flowers to the director Rufus Beaumont, making Eve worry that some of the rivalries she’s noticed are deadly serious. And when Rufus’ body is found in the church where the funeral scene took place, it’s clear that someone’s out for the kill in real life.

Eve and dachshund Gus have been on the ground from the start, and now they’re on the case, interrogating the suspects one by one. Is it the devastating diva whose relationship with Rufus was far from professional? The cameraman who caught Rufus doing something he shouldn’t? Or the groupie groundskeeper who’s in the background of every shot? One thing’s for sure - Eve must catch the killer before she stars in their next murderous production....

A Murder-She-Wrote kinda thing

Good if you like stories with little depth, and are willing to accept juvenile explanations and details. For me it was a relaxing change, but doubt I will buy more if this is the author’s overall style.
