In Daggers at the Country Fair, Martha Miller returns to solve a murder that disrupts the peaceful village life she cherishes.

In Daggers at the Country Fair, the charming village of Winteringham in 1947 becomes the backdrop for an unexpected mystery. Martha Miller, an amateur sleuth known for her keen investigative skills, is invited as the guest of honour at the Winteringham Country Fair. Initially looking forward to a day filled with judging dog shows and indulging in cream teas, her plans take a dark turn when a local teenager is found murdered behind the tea tent, discovered by her loyal red setter, Lizzie.

As Martha begins to enjoy a quieter life away from the gossip of her own village, she finds herself thrust back into the world of crime-solving. The shocking death of the village's femme fatale raises numerous questions and unveils hidden secrets among the residents. With the charming Vicar Luke Walker by her side, Martha must navigate a web of intrigue to uncover the truth behind the murder. Who would want to harm such a vibrant young girl, and what motives lie beneath the surface of village life?

Daggers at the Country Fair is a delightful blend of nostalgia and mystery, filled with lovable characters and potential suspects. Readers are invited to join Martha and Luke on this engaging journey as they work to unravel the mystery and bring the killer to justice. This captivating tale promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats while immersing them in the quaint charm of post-war England.
