Shot in Southwold

In Shot in Southwold, a film shoot turns deadly when a cast member is murdered, forcing Lady Fawcett and her companions into a gripping mystery.

Set in 1960, Shot in Southwold follows Lady Fawcett as she seeks to scrutinize her daughter Amy's new boyfriend, Bartholomew Hackle, an ambitious film director. The backdrop of Southwold serves as the filming location for Hackle's first major project, The Languid Labyrinth. However, the excitement of the film quickly takes a dark turn when a female cast member is found dead from a gunshot. This shocking event thrusts Lady Fawcett, along with her reluctant companion Rosy Gilchrist, into the heart of a murder investigation, where they must navigate the tangled web of suspects and motives among the cast and crew.

As the production continues amidst the chaos, the atmosphere on set becomes increasingly tense. Felix Smythe, an actor with a minor role, finds himself caught in the crossfire of Hackle's erratic directing style and the unfolding mystery. With each passing day, the stakes rise, and the trio of Lady Fawcett, Rosy, and Felix must use their wits to uncover the truth behind the murder. The film's drama pales in comparison to the real-life thriller they are now embroiled in.

Shot in Southwold is a captivating blend of mystery and humor, showcasing the challenges of filmmaking while delving into the darker side of ambition. As the investigation unfolds, the characters must confront their own secrets and fears, leading to a gripping conclusion that leaves readers guessing until the very end.
