Rough And Deadly by Paula Williams Cozy crime/romance

Kat is back living at home after having an “almost city centre” flat and a job which then

came crashing down around her ankles. She is now freelancing for the local paper and

doing other jobs inbetween to try and make ends meet on her bank loan. Her mother

runs Chez Cheryl the local hairdressers which is the hub of local gossip. When one of

the not so popular village ladies is found dead in a vat of cider the brewery owner is

taken in for questioning but everyone local knows that Abe wouldn’t do such a thing

and the woman involved has a few people who are shall we say she has rubbed up

rather the wrong way. Kat’s Aunt arrives and there has been tension between her and

Kat’s family for a while. This time she reckons her husband Richard has been threatening

violence towards her and wants to divorce him. What transpires is even more serious.

Think of this as a cozy murder type read. A likeable main character that you can smile

with, some larger than life sub characters and a plot that has a little romance, a little

gossip and of course a little (or more) murders.

I found this a wonderful relaxing easy read with a smile.

Rough And Deadly
Everyone knows Abe Compton’s Headbender cider is as rough as a cider can get. But is it deadly? When self-styled ‘lady of the manor’, Margot Duckett-Trimble, announces she wouldn’t be
seen dead drinking the stuff, who could have foreseen that, only a few days later, she’d be
found, face down, in a vat of it? Kat Latcham’s no stranger to murder. Indeed, the once ‘sleepy’ Somerset village of Much
Winchmoor is fast gaining a reputation as the murder capital of the West Country and is
‘as sleepy as a kid on Christmas Eve’ when it’s discovered there’s a murderer running loose
in the community again. Kat has known Abe all her life, and she is sure that, although he had motive, he didn’t kill
Margot. But as she investigates, the murderer strikes again. And the closer Kat gets to
finding out who the real killer is, the closer to danger she becomes. This second Much Winchmoor mystery is once again spiked with humour and sprinkled
with romance – plus a cast of colourful characters, including a manic little dog called
Prescott whose bite is definitely worse than his bark. Purchase Link https://mybook.to/roughanddeadly


Author Bio – Paula Williams is living her dream. She’s written all her life – her earliest efforts involved
blackmailing her unfortunate younger brothers into appearing in her plays and pageants.
But it’s only in recent years that she discovered to her surprise that people with better
judgement than her brothers actually liked what she wrote and were prepared to pay her for it. Now, she writes every day in a lovely, book-lined study in her home in Somerset, where
she lives with her husband and a handsome but not always obedient rescue Dalmatian
called Duke. She started out writing fiction for women’s magazines (and still does) but
has recently branched out into longer fiction. She also writes a monthly column, Ideas
Store, for the writers’ magazines, Writers’ Forum. But, as with the best of dreams, she worries that one day she’s going to wake up and
find she still has to bully her brothers into reading ‘the play what she wrote’. Social Media Links – Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/paula.williams.author Blog. paulawilliamswriter.wordpress.com Twitter. @paulawilliams44 Website. paulawilliamswriter.co.uk
