My Review: Now I might be slightly bias, as I love Judy Leigh books and those of her alter ego Elena Collins. I have to say that I do love a good Cozy Crime and Judy has created a fabulously funny and endearing character in Morwenna Mutton and her bicycle. Seal Bay is a lovely, cosy place to be, nosey locals, wild swimming and a lot of fun, gossip coupled with togetherness. The victim certainly wasn’t liked that much. There are false arrests and accusations, I laughed out loud at the sentiment that *The Breadknife’s gone missing* perfect. Morwenna reminded me of Jessica Fletcher. The DI is written with good humour. Recommended as an easy to follow, fun read which will make you smile, laugh and feel at home with. I also love the narrator for the audible.

Foul Play at Seal Bay
It was meant to be the start of quiet season in the sleepy Cornish village of Seal Bay, but not for sexagenarian librarian and wild swimming enthusiast Morwenna Mutton. Because when a local businessman is found on the beach with a bread knife is his back, bungling police officer DI Rick Tremayne is soon out of his depth. Morwenna knows it’s going to be down to her to crack the case.
The list of people the victim upset is long, the evidence is slight, and an arrest illusive. Morwenna has plenty to occupy her time what with ghostly goings-on at the library and skullduggery at her granddaughter’s school, but she could never resist a challenge. And even the most ruthless of murderers should quake at the sight of this amateur sleuth getting on her bike to track them down.
If you love Miss Marple and The Thursday Murder Club, then you’ll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries.

I asked Judy Leigh where the name Morwenna Mutton came from and this is what she told me: ‘Both names are typically Cornish. Means maiden. Mutton or Mitten mean farmstead where two rivers join’
