Part of Series

When dairy farming turns deadly, spilled milk just might be worth crying over. Head-teacher Arrina Fenn is determined to make her sixth form college’s first Careers Fair go off without a hitch. In the rural village of Heathervale, with its small-town secrets and family squabbles that line the streets as thickly as crops in the fields, that’s not as easy as it seems. When one of the fair’s staff members turns up dead, Arrina’s hopes for success are dashed to pieces, and Arrina is once again dragged into the investigation. With the wrong person heading to trial, growing tensions in the village, and something increasingly strange going on with the young people of Heathervale, Arrina must race to find out what really happened on the day of the Careers Fair, before it’s too late. This is book two of The Heathervale Mysteries, with more twists than a country lane and a cast of cozy characters you'll be right at home with.
