A Scent of Murder at the Country Fair

When a body is discovered at the local country fair, amateur detectives Flora and Jack Carrington sense foul play, realizing the suspicious death is far more than just an accident involving killer cheese. Set in Sussex, 1960, the annual autumn fair is interrupted when local cheesemaker Gilbert Barrow crashes, bringing the festivities to a sudden halt. Flora discovers Gilbert slumped over the wheel, seemingly killed by his own prize-winning cheese that broke free of its bonds. Certain this is murder, Flora and Jack begin investigating Gilbert’s close circle, including his jealous cousin Bea, corporate dairy rival Reginald, and estranged wife Vivienne. As Gilbert’s new girlfriend is attacked, the race to uncover the killer intensifies before the murderer strikes again.
