Of Funerals and Feuds

The Travelling Celebrant Mysteries, Book 2

By: Phillipa Nefri Clark

Narrated by: Jodie Harris

When a funeral goes terribly wrong, can Daphne uncover a killer before they strike again?

Celebrant Daphne Jones is in the picturesque mountain town of Shady Bend to perform a funeral for community figure Edwina Drinkwater. But when the casket falls open during the service, revealing it's completely empty, Daphne finds herself at the centre of a baffling mystery.

And the missing body is only the start of the day's calamities. When the caterer collapses from apparent poisoning, followed by two more suspicious deaths, Daphne is determined to figure out why so many mourners are following Edwina into the afterlife.

From a mysterious sauce recipe that has the whole town in a frenzy, to a blackmail book filled with scandalous secrets, it seems that Shady Bend truly lives up to its name. And as Daphne digs deeper, she realises the killer isn't finished. Unless she solves this deadly puzzle fast, she may be next on their list…

Perfect for fans of Ellie Alexander, Tonya Kappes and anyone who loves a cozy mystery with heart, humour, and a heroine you'll want to befriend.
