Murder on the Farm by Kate Wells is the story of Julie Gray who discovers a dead body on her farm. As she investigates, more bodies appear and the investigation becomes more dangerous and closer to home.

Setting a murder-mystery on a quaint English countryside farm felt refreshingly different but at times, forced.

The plot is well-crafted with sufficient clues to keep the reader intrigued and invested in the ‘puzzle’ of the mystery. The characters are mostly well-created and credible to give the whole story a high degree of credibility.

I enjoyed reading this book but there was an underlying feeling that the setting didn’;’t really match the crimes.
