Bethany Russell

A Very English Murder Bethany Russell

Mother and son duo, Ethel and Billy Bobberton, have just landed in England for the start of their six-month tour through Europe. Their first destination is the medieval town of Bath. Ethel is beyond excited for the adventure. However, Billy could take it or leave it. It's not the tour itself that has Billy wishing he was somewhere else, but the location. England tends to be cold, wet and miserable. It's the opposite of what Billy wants from a vacation. Still, it's a vacation. His mother is desperate for them to have a good time together. Billy does his best to put on a good face and try to enjoy himself. And it works too! Day one sees them touring the town of Bath with others from their hotel. It's not until the end of the day, when Billy stumbles upon the dead body of a guest from the hotel, that things take a turn for the worse. The death is ruled an accident and the vacation continues the best it can. That is until another body turns up the next night. This body is the neighbor of the hotel that Billy and Ethel are staying at. The murders both appear to be accidental deaths. Billy notices a clear connection between the two. He realizes that if he wants this crime solved, it will be up to him to do it. If not, more bodies might join the first, and then his vacation really will be ruined for good.
