Lady Wimbledon was delighted to welcome Judy Murray to The Wimbledon Tennis Party on the first day of Wimbledon 2025, to sign copies of her new murder mystery Game, Set & Murder. Her latest novel looks set to be a summer sizzler! So what’s it all about?
On a hot midsummer day in the Surrey countryside, close friends Kristin, Vee, Bibi and Hailey are celebrating their Ladies’ Team victory at the exclusive Royal Oaks Tennis Club.
But when their oh-so-charming coach, Jeremy, collapses after tucking into a carefully decorated sponge cake, it seems the season isn’t just ending with a championship trophy – but with a murder.
Off the court, it’s clear that each of the four women has been keeping a dark secret, but surely no one would wish Jeremy dead? Or perhaps revenge truly is a cake best served cold…
A delicious new murder mystery from household name Judy Murray, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Shirley Ballas and Reverend Richard Coles.
Good Housekeeping Magazine:
“On Monday (30 June) Judy also marked the first day of the tennis by joining Lady Wimbledon’s Rooftop Tennis Party, which takes place annually on the opening day of The Championships. During the event, Judy signed copies of her new book Game, Set & Murder and was joined by a special guest – her niece, Ailsa Erskine.”
