Description
A lovely little spot for murder!
Not much happens in Biddle Rhyne, a quiet, picturesque village in the southwest of England. Especially if you don’t count the meat raffle on a Thursday night and the odd sheep escaping a field.
However, that’s all set to change when Julia Ford, a normal(ish) twenty-something who works in the local pub, stumbles upon a murder victim.
Upsetting, but not the end of the world. Particularly as the victim is Audrey White, the cantankerous owner of a nearby garden centre.
But when the police discover Julia had argued with the woman in the past, and her fingerprints are found on a death threat, she is accused of the crime, and her life is turned upside down.
Released on police bail and encumbered with an unfetching ankle tag, Julia will have to clear her own name.
Yet the murderer is intent that she takes the fall. Will Julia land on her feet?
MURDER ON A COUNTRY LANE is the first title in a series of cozy murder mysteries set in rural England. Look out for the second book, MURDER IN A SOMERSET VILLAGE, available late October.

I really love a cozy mystery so I was really excited to have the chance to read this book. I really enjoyed it overall.

I was interested in this because I thought it looked and sounded like the type of book I would enjoy.
This was a charming cosy mystery. I found myself escaping into the countryside setting, and I found some of the characters fun and a little bit eccentric. This is ideally the type of book that I would choose as a light read, if I have an hour or two to fill. It was light enough to read in one sitting, and I say it was ideal for when you want to curl up with a hot drink and escape with a book. It's definitely the type of book that would get my attention if I saw it in a bookshop or library, I would probably pick it up. I would also be interested in reading more books by this author.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

Thank you to author, publisher and netgalley for giving me an ARC of the book.
This is a cozy murder mystery which is a smooth read.
The story sometimes feels to be moving at a slow pace and did not feel bored at any point
The plot of the story is good, and was hard to guess the killer until the end which is great.
I plan to pick up other books by the author and highly recommend picking this book if one is into cozy mysteries.
