Small Town Shock (Some Very English Murders No. 1) by Issy Brooks

Penny is tired of the rat race. She has retired (semi she hopes) to rural Lincolnshire. Everyone knows her as the Londoner. They also seem to know each other's business. It sounds quirky and quaint, but not I think if you have things to hide and value your privacy! Penny is a bit brash. She has not learnt the policy of thinking and speaking, it just comes out of her mouth. She acts first and thinks of the consequences later. All with genuinely good intentions and in this case, coming across a dead body in a field, Penny thinks she gets first dibs on finding who the killer is. The local Police constabulary seem very kind, very patient with her poking about in what is obviously police business but other than a gentle warning or two, she is left on her own and hence she tries and succeeds in uncovering the actual murderer. Told in a light hearted vein, this was slightly different to the other English village murder mysteries I've read. Different but interesting.
