A film company is coming to the Cornish village of Penstowan, and the whole village turn up to be cast as extras, even Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker. Determined to join in with the fun and ignore any dramas, Jodie is going to make the most of this time with her mum and daughter and of the potential to see their name in lights… or really small writing on the credits page.
But right on cue, the company’s caterer is sabotaged and Jodie must step up. As other small accidents begin to happen, it becomes clear that the filming is being sabotaged. With actors behaving out of character and the house literally being brought down, breaking a leg is the least of their worries.
Can Jodie save the day once again, or will it be their final curtain call?
The third book in the Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker cosy mystery series. Can be read as a standalone. A humorous cosy mystery with a British female sleuth in a small village. Includes one of Jodie's Tried and Tested Recipes! Written in British English. Mild profanity and peril.

Oh, I do love this series and then the very last line of the book sealed it for me! My heart was so happy! It has made me get all excited for the next book – I can’t wait!
I loved the use of a film set being used as a “murder” sight this time! I say it, because yes there is death, but it’s done so light-heartedly. We sadly, sorrynotsorry, don’t focus on the dead person but the living, the suspects and the blossoming romances…because that is what a cosy nosey mystery is about – the family, friends and the romance, with some detective work thrown in!
Every time I read a Jodie book, I know she will make me laugh and smile a lot! As I have said before she is written in such a way that you could be having a conversation down the pub with her. The narrator of the audiobook is just spot on with her accents and she is perfect for the job! She creates such infectious enthusiasm for the characters that you can’t help but just want to sit there and listen to the entirety of the book in one go.
Jodie, Nathan and Tony are my happy place. I would love a Tony in my life, and well a Nathan wouldn’t go amiss. But Jodie could easily be someone I was friends with, hunting down the clues. Although, I do love how Jodie ends up getting involved in all these mysteries. How she does it, I will never know!!!
I couldn’t work it out this time, and when we discovered what happened – well it seemed very poignant with some characters and quite sad too. I can’t really say what I want to say as it might spoil it! But it’s very fitting for a time a few years ago.
I can’t wait for the next book and adventure. They are a ray of sunshine and such a joy to read or listen to!
Until next time xxx
