Murder in the Frame (The Shepton Rise Murders)

When a model is found dead during a life drawing class, the police are confident they have their culprit. The case, they say, is neatly wrapped up. But theatrical agent Ginny Fellows knows better.

Certain the truth is being overlooked, Ginny is forced to do the unthinkable: leave the safety of her home. With the steady support of her friend Adam, she accepts a temporary role as a fully clothed life model, placing herself right in the middle of the studio—and face to face with the prime suspects.

As panic threatens to overwhelm her, Ginny must rely on courage she didn’t know she had, along with help from Adam and her eccentric actor clients, the Dead Actors—four performers best known for their unforgettable on-screen deaths. From whispered rivalries to carefully hidden betrayals, it soon becomes clear that everyone has something to hide.

Warm, witty, and full of heart, Murder in the Frame is a delightful small-town mystery about friendship, resilience, and finding the strength to step into the spotlight when it matters most. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with charm, humour, and an unconventional sleuth.
