Bury St Edmunds is a picturesque market town in the heart of Suffolk, on the east coast of England. Founded in the 11th century, the town is notable for its rich and colourful history. Tourists flock to see the ruins of the medieval abbey and maybe catch a glimpse of the infamous ghostly 'Grey Lady'. It's also home to the Angel Hotel, once frequented by Charles Dickens, and the Nutshell, famous for being Britain's smallest pub. It's an unlikely setting for murder. But its tranquil surroundings and stunning architecture hide a darker side.
