Merrydale is a small village. Nothing ever happens there. A fundraising team of six villagers decide to hold a summer event of a Safari Supper. Selected houses hold different meal courses but Death visits one of the houses on the night of the supper. More deaths follow. How are they connected and what do they have in common? With the help of some of the villagers, the fundraising team decide to hold their own investigations as the police appear to be at a loss in finding any connection between the victims, who have died in completely different ways. In the meantime there is a bail absconder who is hanging around the village. Is this person connected with the deaths? The village sleuths need to find some answers before anyone else dies.

After a self-imposed exile, Stephen returns to the town of Abbotsford to find that corruption has seeped far beyond King Edward II’s court and into the very heart of his home. The local abbey is in ruins, town officials are stealing from the citizens, someone is circulating false gold around the town, and the entire country is on the brink of civil war. Refusing to stand for any more injustice, Stephen partners with the local abbot to end the town’s corruption and aid the exiled forces who plan to invade the country and overthrow the king. But Stephen has another objective that’s more important than all the rest: winning the love and loyalty of his wife, Elena, who despises him. But how can he succeed when Elena’s brother is the very worst of those corrupt officials he’s sworn to bring down? As theft and murder come to a head, so, too, does the imperfect love story of this guarded man with a complicated past and his headstrong wife who’s already sacrificed too much. Will Stephen bring peace back to Abbotsford and earn Elena’s love? Or will fate intervene, forcing them both to make a choice?
