The Jan Christopher Mysteries · Episode Six
A Mischief of Murder
July 1973. Old friends and new enemies? Jan Christopher's Aunt Madge is to be a judge at Chappletawton's annual village flower and vegetable summer show - a chance for the family to have a holiday in the Devon countryside, especially as Jan's fiancé, DS Laurie Walker, is still recovering from gunshot wounds and her uncle, DCI Toby Christopher, is enduring injury-related sick leave.
The event should be a fun occasion where friendly rivalry between gardeners, cooks and crafters lead to the hopeful winning of the coveted Best In Show trophy - but who added mischief and murder to the traditional schedule?
