Series: Cherringham #17
First Sentence: Daniel brought his binoculars up to his eyes while – beside him – so did his best friend, Tom.
Synopsis: When a big movie production comes to Cherringham, complete with lords, ladies, and flashing swords, the whole village is abuzz with excitement. But when a series of dangerous accidents threatens the life of the young lead, Zoe Harding, Sarah and Jack get involved. Are these really accidents? Or could they be something more sinister - even deadly? Who is trying to destroy the career of the beautiful young star - and why? (Goodreads)
My Opinion: I enjoyed this short story. For me, the who-done-it wasn’t apparent from the start, which always makes for an enjoyable read. There may be one character who stands out as the potential baddie, but when another is drawn in, actress Zoe Harding knows she needs help. Enter Jack and Sarah. With a second attempt occurring right under their noses, the freelance investigative team snaps into action culminating in a chase scene, invoking memories of famous big-screen pursuits, where Jack and Sarah quickly save not only the day but the life of a leading lady.
