The Brand NEW instalment in the bestselling Exham-on-Sea series.

An unsolved murder echoes down the corridors of Cleeve Abbey for years.

The Exham-on-Sea’s History Society's annual summer picnic comes to an abrupt end when human bones are discovered in Washford River, beside historic Cleeve Abbey.

Thrilled to find evidence of a possible centuries-old murder mystery, the members of the society organise a ghost-hunting night in the ruins of Cleeve Abbey, despite amateur sleuth Libby Forest's reservations.

Libby is a woman of many talents, a baker, chocolatier, even a reluctant sleuth, but she's no fan of the supernatural.and her doubts are justified when a friend is attacked under cover of darkness at the ghost-hunt.

Distressed and angry, Libby sets out with her new husband Max and their two dogs Bear and Shipley to uncover the connection between the murder of a sixteenth century monk and a present-day attack in picturesque Somerset.

With friends and neighbours as suspects, Libby and Max close in on the culprit only to find that others are still in danger.

There's no time to lose as the sins of the past threaten lives in the community.

Murder at the Abbey is the eighth in a series of Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries from the small English seaside town full of quirky characters, sea air, and gossip.

If you love Agatha Christie-style mysteries, cosy crime, clever dogs and cake, then you'll love these intriguing whodunnits.

One day, as Frances walked on a beach in peaceful Somerset, she came upon a unique nine-legged Victorian lighthouse. Her first cosy crime story, Murder at the Lighthouse, was born.

Now, she writes mystery stories: the Exham on Sea and Ham Hill Murder Mysteries, all set in Somerset.

She collects poison recipes and cooks with a glass of wine in one hand and a bunch of chillies in the other, her head full of ingenious ways to dispatch her victims - in fiction, of course.

She's been a speech therapist and a road sweeper, and worked in the criminal courts seeing crime from all points of view: victim, prosecution and defence.

She also has a special interest in writing for children who struggle with reading. Dragon Ring is an easy-read book, produced especially for dyslexic children.

Will appeal to fans of MC Beaton.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2021

A History Society picnic is interrupted when human bones are discovered in a nearby river, close to historic Cleeve Abbey. Amateur sleuth Libby and her husband, who just happen to be on hand, are keen to get involved, especially when the Society organise a ghost-hunting night at the abbey. But it’s a human intruder rather than ghosts who upset the evening when one of the group is assaulted. Together with their faithful dogs, the detecting duo try to unearth reasons for the murder of a sixteenth century monk and a possible connection with the recent attack.

This is the first ‘cosy mystery’ I’ve read by Frances Evesham, and I was struck by the similarity in writing style to MC Beaton (of Hamish McBeth fame). The similarity is in the simple fact of having a decent plot but a cast of mostly irritating characters. With plenty of suspects to consider, the story is a good one, though at times lacks pace—the protagonists seeming to spend more time weeding the garden or faffing about with their dogs than solving a mystery. Having said that, it’s an entertaining read with enough humour to keep me amused, and even if the couple’s relationship with the local copper is a tad far-fetched, the denouement made perfect sense.

A cosy mystery that will appeal to fans of MC Beaton.

An interesting read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2022

Have enjoyed several of this series, set in gorgeous, myth filled Somerset.
The returning characters remain interesting.
This is a gentle mystery albeit with a less than gentle villain lurking fairly discreetly in the background.
A well thought out mix of history and its ramifications into the present.
Some lovely descriptions of the area as the dogs are taken for walks and some references to the area and its recurring hold over visitors and locals alike.
So easy to understand the author's delight in her home county.

Another Fun Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2021

Frances Evesham is a hugely successful author of cosy crime. Her Exham-on-Sea series features baker and amateur sleuth, Libby Forest; partner Max Ramshore and their dogs, Shipley and Bear. Murder at the Abbey, is book 8 in the series, and I can highly recommend it. All the usual elements: an amateur sleuth, an array of suspects, and lots of red herrings. But, better still, start at book 1, Murder at the Lighthouse and enjoy Libby's journey from the beginning. If you like cosy crime, you're going to love the Exham-on-Sea mysteries.

Repeat and repeat again.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2022

Having read a few others in the series I finally gave up on this one. It is nothing but repetitions of paragraphs, phrases etc from the previous books. Most people will start at the first book, then work through the series so don't need to be told over and over again the same things. Very irritating and has put me off buying anything else from this author which is a shame. Had I paid a lot more money that I did I would be very peeved.

A long dead monk and a murder.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2021

Verified Purchase

The plots are starting to get very similar, a murder; or in this case a long dead monk followed by a murder, the police calling on Max and Libby's expertise, a good rummage to find clues followed by the eventual catching of said murderer. They are cosy mysteries, no grit and grime with gorey details, but just a pleasant read.
