Summary

The sleepy village of Little Cote was meant to be a quieter pace of life for ex-Met PC Jemima Cotton. But she soon discovers that here, a petty rivalry can erupt into full-blown murder.... 

After PC Jemima's Cotton's first murder investigation, she knows now to trust no one. She leaves the gifted lasagnes uneaten in her freezer and won't go near a cake sale either. But when Perry Noble, head of the Little Cote darts club, is found dead on his doorstep, even PC Jemima Cotton can't believe she's found herself involved in yet another murder investigation in this sleepy village. 

As Jemima starts to investigate, she discovers Perry had his fair share of enemies...especially among the darts players themselves. So it's no surprise when the murder weapon is revealed to be a poisoned dart. 

Jemima used to love playing darts at the Met, so when her boss recommends she join the club, she jumps at the opportunity to get closer to the potential suspects. But several red herrings later, she's none the wiser and realises she might have to search further afield for the killer before they strike again. 

Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Helen Cox, Betty Rowlands and the Midsomer Murders series by Caroline Graham.

A very enjoyable story

I binged this book in two days. Penelope Rawlins is truly wonderful as the narrator. The story was very enjoyable as an ex-darts player for two pubs I can appreciate the setting. Rose Temple is a great writer and this was fun. I did feel the conclusion was a little rushed, maybe it's just me?

Fabulous immersive read

I am loving this modern take on the rural murder mystery. Great characters, all of whom could plausibly have done it. Can’t wait for credit day to download the next one.
