Murder on the Farm
by Kate Wells
read by Rebecca Norfolk
Part 1 of the Malvern Farm Mystery series
Lambing season always brings the unexpected… But no one expected murder
Jude Gray never thought she'd find herself widowed and running a working farm full-time, but here she is, living in the small Malvern village her husband Adam spent most of his life in.
After a particularly gruelling lambing season, she is looking forward to some time off, but there's no rest for the wicked, especially when she finds the body of one of Adam's oldest friends on her farm.
Unimpressed with the local constabulary's efforts, Jude starts an investigation of her own. But as the body count rises, danger creeps ever closer to Malvern Farm.
A killer is on the prowl. And all that stands in their way is one woman – and her dog.
'I loved this rollercoaster of a book! It was stylish, pacy and gripping, with engaging characters. I rooted for Jude the sleuth from the first page. It's a hugely supenseful story, compelling, well-crafted and cleverly calculated.' Judy Leigh, author of Foul Play at Seal Bay
'A cryptically clever cosy mystery that will transport you to the beautiful Malvern Hills. I couldn't put it down!' Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates

Stranger in the Village
by Kate Wells
read by Helen Keeley
Part 2 of the Malvern Farm Mystery series
Where there's a body in Malvern End, there are secrets to be uncovered…
Jude Gray has worked hard to bring a steady equilibrium to life on Malvern Farm and things are going well.
The only fly in the ointment is the foul addition of a new face in the village: staunch townie and chauvinistic sleaze, Des Smith. Jude has nothing but sympathy for his caring, patient wife, Loretta, who has become a regular visitor to the farm for a cup of tea and a chat.
But things take a turn for the worse when a hit and run outside The Lamb brings death once again to the village. Is it an accident or is something more sinister afoot?
Perhaps the answer lies in the stranger with red trainers who's been seen wandering through the village and through Jude's fields at night. Following the clues, Jude desperately hopes she will find the right answers, because the murderer being someone she knows is unfathomable…

The time for celebrations is over…
Jude Gray's farm is going from strength to strength, and even though her grumpy neighbour has concerns about the new campsite in the lower field, she is undeterred.
When a hen party arrives for a weekend away, she does her best to cater for their celebrations. But with a sheep needing urgent care – an accidental mishap or something more nefarious? – she finds herself consulting the group, which coincidentally contains four vets.
When one of the hens goes missing, it becomes clear there are more sinister forces at play, and someone is targeting her farm. With the help of close friend Detective Inspector Binnie Khatri, Jude once again dons her amateur sleuthing hat.
They uncover a web of deceit, affairs and rivalries, but will they find the perpetrator before events turn murderous?
