Burying Bad News by Paula Williams- Crime, humour
“One severed head, two warring neighbours – and a cold-blooded killer stalks Much
Winchmoor. There’s the murder made to look like a tragic accident, and a missing
husband. Could he be victim number two?”
Kat works several jobs to keep her head above water. She walks dogs, works at the
local pub and is also a journalist for the local Rag. She somehow has a nose for
solving murders however. She is sent out to cover a story where two neighbours
are bickering over a hedge and one of them to keep the hedge from his pathway
has inadvertently cut the “head” off the topiary pheasant the neighbour was
cultivating. Her mother runs “Chez Cheryl” the hairdressers and wants to extend
it to a spa/beauty salon. Some of the old ladies have other ideas that it is going
to be a massage parlour and don’t want to go anywhere near it and there is a
mobile hairdresser apparently stealing all of the clients but who is it? When
there is a murder Kat finds she is rather more involved having interviewed the
victim and working for the paper. I enjoyed this, it's an easy read with a smile
along the way. Nothing to put you off your dinner and a relaxing read, easily digested.
It is part of a series but will stand alone. An enjoyable whodunnit with a smile.

Burying Bad News One severed head, two warring neighbours – and a cold-blooded killer stalks Much
Winchmoor. There’s the murder made to look like a tragic accident, and a missing
husband. Could he be victim number two? The tiny Somerset village is fast gaining a reputation as the murder capital of the West
Country, and once again, reporter/barmaid/dog walker Kat Latcham finds herself
reluctantly dragged into the investigation. Things are looking bad for Ed Fuller, the husband of one of Kat's oldest friends. Kat's
convinced he’s innocent – but she's been wrong before. Has Kat come across her biggest challenge yet? Fans of Janet Evanovich could well enjoy this "funky, modern day nosey detective"
transported to the English countryside. The third Much Winchmoor mystery is, as
always, spiked with humour and sprinkled with a touch of romance. Purchase Link https://mybook.to/buryingbadnews
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 various
plays and pageants. But it's only in recent years, when she turned her attention to
writing short stories and serials for women's magazines 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 and she has sold over 400 short stories
and serials both in the UK and overseas. Now, she writes every day in a lovely, book-lined study in her home in Somerset, UK,
where she lives with her husband and a handsome but not always obedient rescue
Dalmatian called Duke. She still writes for magazines but now writes novels as well.
She is currently writing the Much Winchmoor series of murder mysteries, set in a
village not unlike the one she lives in - although as far as she knows, none of her
friends and neighbours have murderous tendencies. A member of both the Romantic Novelists' Association and the Crime Writers'
Association, her novels often feature a murder or two, and are always spiked with
humour and sprinkled with a touch of romance. She also writes a monthly column, Ideas Store, for the writers' magazine, Writers'
Forum. And she blogs about her books, other people's books and, quite often,
Dalmatians at paulawilliamswriter.wordpress.com. She gives talks on writing at writing festivals and to organised groups and has appeared
several times of local radio. In fact, she'll talk about writing to anyone who'll stand still
long enough to listen. But, as with all 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'.
