Returning to Fentown had never been part of Sarah Moore's business-savvy plan. But life had other ideas. And indeed, so did death.
Following her father's sudden death, Sarah finds herself back in the idyllic village where she grew up. Armed with a head for change management and a determined heart, she embarks on a new venture - transforming her cousin Tommy's quiet cafe into the bustling heart of the community, 'Evoke'.
As Sarah deleves ever deeper into the world of scones, flat whites, and warm welcomes, she discovers that village life is not all that it seems. When the short-tempered and gruff landowner Harold Greene turns up apparently murdered, Tommy becomes the prime suspect, and Sarah realises that her nose for business may be more useful in solving a murder than she ever expected.
Sarah races against the clock to uncover the truth behind the picturesque facade of Fentown. But will she be working alone, or will the cast of local characters be willing to play their part to clear Tommy's name? In a village where everyone knows everyone else's secrets, can Sarah untangle the knot of lies and identify the real killer before her own secrets are exposed?
In 'A Fine Welcome in Fentown', Sarah finds that in coming home to save her cousins cafe, she might just have put herself in the right place to save more than his livelihood.
