Welcome to the beautiful English village of Inkbury. It’s best known for having a picturesque riverside that appeared in a Richard Curtis movie. That is, until the murder…

When former stand-up comic Juno Mulligan moves to Inkbury from the States, it’s mostly to watch out for her elderly mother, whose three-times-a-widower new boyfriend looks dangerously like he might be a murderer.

She hopes that her friend, disgraced-journalist-turned-novelist, Phoebe Fredericks can help her crack the case. But before they have a chance, a local art dealer washes up dead, on the village’s famous riverbank. His lover’s in the frame, but Juno and Phoebe suspect there’s a deeper secret… Is this a mystery that only the (very newly-formed) Village Detective Agency can take a break from their hot flushes and memory lapses to solve?
