Synopsis

It’s a quiet English village—except for one crazed murderer—in this delightful romp by the author of the Constable Mavis Upton series. Librarian Prunella Pearce has left heartbreak behind to start a new life in the village of Winterbottom, where there’s little social life to be had aside from the meetings of The Winterbottom Women’s Institute at the parish hall. But a bit of excitement ensues when the group is about to elect a new president—and the nominees for the position begin dropping like flies. One is found facedown in a lemon drizzle cake, stabbed with a crochet needle. Another nearly dies spectacularly in the revolving doors of a Harrogate hotel. When Pru and her friend Bree agree to do some undercover snooping to help the police, little do they know that one of the Winterbottom women is hiding a scandalous secret . . .

Follow them from drinking beer, and pizza eating to the wild forest where they will fend for themselves. 
Feel the doubts felt as they leave civilization and journey into uncharted territory. 
Sense the panic when their only transportation becomes useless. 
Feel the cold as they trek on. Feel the fear as they encounter wild animals. 
Feel the panic as a fast moving stream and a muddy slough try to claim a member of the group. Feel the encouragement as they use their wits, and find ways to obtain food. 
Rally with them as they work their way back to to civilization.
