Where were you in '77?

A rural murder mystery with platform shoes, bad hair and a lot of cake!

In the summer of 1977, in the chocolate-box village of Downscliffe in Kent, preparations for the Silver Jubilee are thrown into disarray when a local television celebrity is found dead.

Veronica Castle is wealthy and successful. She has it all: fame and money, thousands of fans across the region and a luxury house in the country. So why did she hang herself? The police have no doubt that it was suicide, but not everyone agrees. Newcomer to the village, Catriona Cameron, fights to uncover the truth. In order to understand Veronica Castle's death, Catriona must first delve into her murky past. Only there will she discover who killed her. And why.

A Jubilee Murder is a light-hearted story of misfits in an unfamiliar world of rural English politics and village intrigue. It is liberally sprinkled with '70s nostalgia, from vol-au-vents and prawn cocktails to Kojak on a Saturday night. It offers a comforting glimpse of a bygone era, as well as a cracking murder mystery for Catriona to solve in her first adventure.

JP Fraser grew up in the beautiful Kentish countryside during the 1970s, and the author uses many of those experiences to create a richly described and nostalgic story, with fascinating insights into village life nearly half a century ago. It is packed with quirky and memorable characters, both lovable and infuriating, but never boring.

Join Catriona in her first fun and intriguing Three Villages Mystery.
