Synopsis

Two cyclists die on the Somerset Levels, and the Exham bakery gets the blame. Libby Forest runs into danger as she sets out to solve the mystery, save the bakery and rescue her career, helped by Bear, the enormous Carpathian Sheepdog, Fuzzy, an aloof marmalade cat, and the handsome, secretive Max Ramshore.

Set in the coastal resort of Exham on Sea, Murder on the Levels features a cast of local characters, including Mandy the teenage Goth, her new boyfriend, Steve, Frank the baker, and Detective Sergeant Joe Ramshore, Max's estranged son. The green fields, rolling hills and sandy beaches of the West Country provide the perfect setting for crime, intrigue and mystery.

About Frances Evesham

One day, Frances Evesham walked on a beach in peaceful Somerset and came upon a unique nine-legged Victorian lighthouse. Her first cozy crime story, Murder at the Lighthouse, was born. Now, she writes mystery stories: the Exham on Sea contemporary cozy crime series set in a small Somerset seaside town, and the Thatcham Hall Mysteries, nineteenth-century historical mystery romances set in Victorian England. She collects poison recipes and cooks with a glass of wine in one hand and a bunch of chilies in the other, her head full of ingenious ways to dispatch her victims-in fiction, of course. She's been a speech therapist and a road sweeper, and worked in the criminal courts seeing crime from all points of view: victim, prosecution, and defense. Spending time in the dock and the witness box alongside witnesses taught her more about motive, means, and opportunity than she could ever have imagined.

Goodreads review by Tony on May 30, 2018

I didn’t particularly like the basic plot that Libby or the bakery are responsible for poisoning a cycling club, but as I quite liked Libby, Mandy and Bear from the previous book I decided to give it a go. In the end the problem wasn’t with the plot, but with Libby. She hasn’t developed into the inde......more

I liked better the first book, Murder at the Lighthouse but this one was ok. I want to read more. I like so much the writing style of Frances Evesham, the setting and that the main character is an "older" woman.......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on March 07, 2016

Reviewed by me as part of Rosie Amber's Review Team. 'Murder on the Levels' is a delightfully quirky cosy mystery by Frances Evesham set in the West Country. The central character, Libby Forest, is warmly portrayed; a baker of cakes and chocolate-maker by profession, she is unwittingly drawn into a mu......more
