Book Information
A quiet English village where nothing ever happens. Until…..
After her boyfriend runs out on her with the contents of their joint bank account, Kat Latcham has no choice but to return to the tiny Somerset village of Much Winchmoor where she grew up. A place, she reckons, that is not so much sleepy as comatose and she longs for something to happen to lessen the boredom of living with her parents.
But when she and her childhood friend, Will Manning, discover a body and Will’s father, John, is arrested for the murder, Kat suddenly realises that she should have heeded the saying “Be careful what you wish for”.
Much Winchmoor is a hotbed of gossip and everyone is convinced John Manning is guilty. Only Kat and Will believe he’s innocent. When there’s a second murder Kat is sure she knows the identity of the murderer – and set out to prove it. But in doing so she almost becomes the murderer’s third victim.
Readers of Sue Grafton might enjoy the Much Winchmoor series of cosy murder mysteries spiked with humour and sprinkled with romance.

My Review
4☆ A Fab New Cosy Crime Mystery with a good dash of romance and wit!
Murder Served Cold is the first book in a new cosy crime series, mixed with a a dash of romance.
I'm not going to discuss the plot as the blurb does a fabulous job giving you all the enticing details you need to pick up this exciting book.
The plot is compelling, has drama, gossip, mystery, secrets and intrigue, with a good dash of romance, wit and humour.
Everything you want from a cosy mystery.
It's very much a who done it type of mystery, as there are plenty of potential suspects to whittle away.
I love this type of cosy crime, as I really enjoy becoming a detective alongside the story, as events unfold and the pieces slot together to solve the murder mystery.
The Characters are very well developed, they are intriguing, likeable, strong and believable.
Paula has already laid down solid foundations for her characters, I can't wait to see how they develop throughout the series.
The pace flowed along beautifully, I really enjoyed the romance aspect. It made a nice change to get a lighter feel to the genre.
What I liked about Murder Served Cold was although there is a murder and it is a Crime Fiction, it's also a light hearted, fun read set in a beautiful village location.
It kind of reminded me of watching Murder She Wrote, Rosemary & Thyme or Miss Marple with my Nan and Grandad. I can see this being a tv series.
The only thing I didn't particularly like was the cover, I don't think it stood out enough. I'm not sure I would be drawn to it on a shelf. But again that is just my opinion. I love book covers and for me if I'm drawn to a cover I will pick it up and read it.
But i can't wait to see what's next in-store for this Charming new series!
So if you enjoy cosy crime Murder mysteries, then grab a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and prepare to become a sleuth for the day!

Author Bio
Paula Williams is living her dream. She has written all her life – her earliest efforts involved blackmailing her unfortunate younger brothers into appearing in her plays and pageants. But it is only in recent years, when she turned her attention to writing short stories and serials for women's magazines that she discovered, to her surprise, that people with better judgement than her brothers actually liked what she wrote and were prepared to pay her for it.
Now, she writes every day in a lovely, book-lined study in her home in Somerset, where she lives with her husband and a handsome but not always obedient rescue Dalmatian called Duke. She still writes for magazines but also now writes novels. A member of both the Romantic Novelists' Association and the Crime Writers' Association, her novels often feature a murder or two, and are always sprinkled with humour and spiced with a touch of romance.
She also writes a monthly column, Ideas Store, for the writers' magazine, Writers' Forum and has a blog at paulawilliamswriter.wordpress.com. Her facebook author page is https://www.facebook.com/paula.williams.author . And she tweets at @paulawilliams44.
Not only that, but when she's not writing, she's either tutoring, leading writing workshops or giving talks on writing at writing festivals and conferences and to organised groups. She's appeared several times on local radio - in fact, she'll talk about writing to anyone who'll stand still long enough to listen.
But, as with the best of dreams, she worries that one day she's going to wake up and find she still has to bully her brothers into reading 'the play what she wrote'.
