Motherland meets Midsomer Murders in this fresh and funny mystery about a group of soon-to-be mums who turn detective when there's a murder at their antenatal class.
For Alice and her partner Joe,moving to the sleepy Cotswold village of Penton is a chance to embrace country life and prepare for the birth of their unexpected first child. He can take up woodwork; maybe she'll learn to make jam.
But the rural idyll they'd hoped for doesn't quite pan out when a dead body is discovered at their local antenatal class and they find themselves suspects in a murder investigation. With a cloud of suspicion hanging over the heads of the whole group,Alice sets out to solve the mystery and clear her name,with the help of her troublesome dog,Helen.
However,there are more secrets and tensions in the heart of Penton than first meet the eye. Between the discovery of a shady commune up in the woods,the unearthing of a mysterious death years earlier and the near-tragic poisoning of Helen,Alice is soon in way over her head.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'A wildly impressive debut. Pacy,energetic and best of all hilariously funny - without detracting from the shadowy mystery and genuine humanity at its core. Its characters and twisty plot feel absolutely real - you'll be on the edge of your seat,totally immersed in trying to work out who did it,but rest assured you're never far from a smile. Cosy crime at its finest!'- Janice Hallett
