Murders at the Harmony Hollows Resort, The Prunella Pearce Mysteries

A sleuthing librarian and her friends embark on a fun-filled trip to a holiday camp—but death isn’t taking a holiday . . .

June 1998: Elodie Marshall has committed a terrible crime. But when she’s deemed unfit to plead, she is sentenced to living within the confines of a mental health facility . . .

Present day: Amateur detective Pru Pearce and her friends from the Winterbottom Women’s Institute are about to embark on their annual getaway. The 1960s Butlins-style Harmony Hollows Resort has caught their attention for a few reasons, including the northern ballroom championships and the unsolved double murder from 1983.

But what the women thought was just a cold case soon steps into the present when a murderer, dubbed The Grim Sleeper, strikes. Soon, Pru and the other WI women are dragged deeper into the mysteries of both the past and present-day murders. But this is no evening entertainment—this is real life, and everyone is in danger . . .

Can Pru uncover the truth before another innocent camper is offed? Or are her friends in Chalet 13 destined to meet a grisly end?

This killer comedy is the latest in the series of “warm, cozy crime capers” by the author of the Constable Mavis Upton novels (Jill’s Book Café).
