Bodies, Baddies, and a Crabby Tabby

Murder in an English village. Unsolved mysteries. An empty-nester longing for a quiet life. What could possibly go wrong?
Megan Fallon is in a pickle. After the week she's had, she could do with a change of scene, so when news of a family celebration reaches her ears, she packs a bag and returns to her childhood village home.
With a party to organise, a flirtatious ex-husband and his jealous wife to avoid, a mischievous uncle who’s on the lookout for adventure, a clumsy childhood acquaintance who's undergone a startling transformation, and a cantankerous tabby cat to contend with, Megan has her hands full.
However, what started off as a leisurely break takes a chilling turn when members of the community start getting bumped off at an alarming rate, and Megan finds herself at the heart of an investigation that has her suspecting everyone.
As she becomes involved in the hunt for a murderer, it’s not long before she finds out that some of the villagers are harbouring shocking secrets...
Will you guess whodunnit?
