    Lights, camera, murder 
    In the Lake District, someone’s laying on a deadly welcome… 
    The cast and crew of a popular TV crime drama are shooting in the Lake District – but behind the scenes, relationships are as tense as on-screen. The director’s reputation proceeds him, the two lead stars are feuding and rumours swirl. 
    Meanwhile the locals are enjoying the filming – Amita Kahtri and her friends from Penrith Bingo Club are becoming social media stars with their behind the scenes pictures from filming – although her son-in-law, Jason is taking it all with a pinch of salt. 
    But when on-screen slaughter gets swapped for real-life murder at the concert hall where the TV drama is based, and the genuine police are as baffled as the TV detectives, it falls to the locals to search for the truth. It seems like a taste of fame can be deadly – but what happens when a killer’s plots are wilder than anything the writers can dream up? 
    The humorous satire of the locals social media fame provides a stark contrast to the chilling mystery that unfolds in the concert hall. As the cosy, domestic stories of the cast and crew intertwine with the deadly plot, the line between fiction and reality blurs in this gripping thriller. 
    For fans of Peter Boland (THE VANILLA KILLER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Hannah Hendy (A Terrible Village Poisoning), Richard Osman (The Bullet That Missed), Penny Blackwell (Murder at the Bonfire), and Richard Coles (Murder Under the Mistletoe).
