Ray Martin, a television actor famed for playing TV’s Inspector Brady, is invited to open the village fete and soon finds himself at the centre of a real-life mystery. The festivities turn deadly in the produce tent, with ambitions, infidelities, and petty rivalries (“marrow envy”) providing plenty of motives. When a not-so-popular figure is murdered, Ray—far from his scriptwriters—must play detective for real, navigating a cast of eccentric villagers in a race to unmask the culprit.
