‘As Tope tells it, every rural idyll is blighted by underlying menace. Such is her writing skill, I’m inclined to believe her.’ Daily Mail
‘The plot was as tangled as a ball of knitting wool.’ 5⭐ reader review, Amazon
1,200 pages. 6 fiendishly twisty whodunnits. Hours of top-quality escapist entertainment, set in the beautiful Cotswolds.
Do you love Agatha Raisin and Alex Duggins? Then meet feisty, sharp-tongued forty-something Thea Osborne — dog-walker, house-sitter . . . and now solver of puzzling crimes!
After her husband’s death, Thea packs up her life and heads for the sleepy village of Duntisbourne Abbots, where she and her adorable cocker spaniel, Hepzibah, have their first ever house-sitting gig.
It’s not Thea’s dream job. But all she wants right now is a peaceful summer out in the lush green hills, with Hepzibah at her heels — and a cozy pub at the end of every twisty country lane. Her biggest fear is that she won’t have enough to do. But Thea needn’t worry . . .
Thanks to her knack for stumbling on grisly crime scenes, Thea’s new life in the Cotswolds turns out to be anything but boring.
She and Hepzibah encounter murder and mystery at every turn, from a body in a babbling brook to a human skull, tangled in the roots of a fallen tree. The villagers who surround her might seem pleasant enough. But they all have secrets to hide.
Don’t miss out on this unbeatable-value box set, so utterly addictive that you’ll want to binge all six mysteries in one!
Book 1: A Cotswold Killing
Book 2: A Cotswold Ordeal
Book 3: Death in the Cotswolds
Book 4: A Cotswold Mystery
Book 5: Blood in the Cotswolds
Book 6: Slaughter in the Cotswolds
Fans of Stella Cameron, M.C. Beaton, Agatha Christie, Clare Chase, Frances Evesham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin are sure to be hooked from the first page!

THE AMATEUR SLEUTH
Meet Thea Osborne, aged forty-two. She has been a widow for a year, after her husband Carl was killed in a car accident. She might not be everybody’s cup of tea; she says what she thinks and sometimes rubs people up the wrong way — but she’s got a good heart. She has a devoted cocker spaniel named Hepzibah, and a daughter named Jessica, who is a police probationer.
