Murder Within Tent

First Edition (now withdrawn).

This book was originally written in 2022 and released both as a charity advent calendar and then a regular eBook. The advent calendar and eBook together raised over £3,100 for charities.* The first edition of Murder Within Tent was withdrawn and unpublished in September 2024.

The book was re-written, updated and published as the Second Edition in December 2024. The story is the same, but there are new characters and the book is now 10% longer. Royalties are now paid to Ruth.

This decision was taken so that readers could enjoy new Bridget stories at the normal commercial rate. Paw Press continues to donate to charity.
