About the book
A Hollywood star, once shining brightly but now dimming, is thrust back into the spotlight - but not for reasons anyone would want!
The historic Round Church in Cambridge is transformed into a film set for Viking Bride, featuring the renowned actress Agnes Dermont.
However, Agnes' return to fame quickly turns into a comedy of errors due to a poorly written script, lackluster acting, and a blatant disregard for historical accuracy. Things take a deadly turn when Agnes is discovered with a Viking knife plunged into her chest, a prop turned murder weapon.
Detective Chief Inspector Arthur St. Just delves into the world of Hollywood rivalries, simmering tensions, and dark secrets as he works to uncover the truth behind Agnes' tragic fate. But can he determine who was so desperate to ensure Agnes wouldn't be in the final cut of the film?
This gripping cosy mystery series will captivate fans of M.C. Beaton, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Simon Brett, Richard Osman, Janice Hallett, Faith Martin, and Fiona Leitch.
