The Beanstalk Murder

The village of Old Stump - so-called because it stands on the stump of one of the magic beanstalks that used to link the giant world above with the human world beneath - is a sleepy place.

Nothing much happens until the day a ginormous, dead giant falls from the sky, squishing the entire village! And when it becomes obvious that the giant’s death was no accident, there is suddenly a murder to solve. 

Anwen, a trainee Meadow Witch, and her sworn enemy Cerys, an aspiring High Witch, find themselves accidentally whisked up a beanstalk to the Sky Kingdom where they become embroiled in the hunt for the killer.

Despite their mutual dislike, they discover that maybe, when it comes to finding clues and making sense of evidence, two minds are better than one. But it’s no easy task when your suspects can squash you with just a footstep.  

Taking inspiration from the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, this quirky murder mystery is clever, funny and full of false leads and red herrings.  

Perfect for would-be detectives to practise their skills – especially if they like a touch of magic with their mystery.
