When music turns deadly


SOME THINGS NEVER TURN OUT THE WAY YOU PLAN…

DI Jess Carter is used to blending in. In Hexham’s bustling market town she can slip through the crowds unnoticed — exactly how she likes it. She’s finally living the life she dreamed of, and nothing could make her happier…

Until the night a brutal murder shatters the calm.

Thrown into the unfamiliar world of ceilidh bands, Jess leans on Rory and her small team to navigate rivalries, jealousies, and the fierce competition between two groups desperate to secure a coveted wedding gig — and the recording contract that comes with it. Jess suspects the temptation has proved too much for someone, and emotions have spiralled into violence.

But when a second body is found in the aftermath of the wedding, Jess realises the killer isn’t finished — and the truth is far more tangled than she imagined.

Suspense, romance, and sharp humour collide in this fast‑paced mystery.
