About this ebook
The start of a brand new series from the bestselling author of the Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries.
An English village can be deadly, when your past catches up with you...
In the beautiful rural Somerset village of Lower Hembrow, crammed full with English eccentrics, something is amiss...
Landscape gardener Imogen Bishop has spent the last thirty years trying to forget one fateful school night but when her estranged husband Greg Bishop is found dead in the grounds of her fathers' Georgian hotel, danger threatens to overwhelm her.
Retired police officer Adam Hennessey, hoping for a peaceful life running his traditional Somerset country pub, finds himself drawn into the unfolding drama in the hotel across the road.
Imogen, Adam and Harley the stray dog form an unlikely partnership as they try to untangle a knot of secrets, solve a murder mystery, and bring a killer to justice.
A brand new cosy mystery series from the bestselling author of Murder at the Lighthouse, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Betty Rowlands and Joy Ellis.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyable read. Although I had a short list of suspects, none of my assumptions were correct. Bit if a twist at the end. Very satisfying ending.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hey. I enjoyed this story. Murder and mayhem, but oh so gently done. And short enough for me—a slow reader—to finish in a day.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5retired, law-enforcement, murder-investigation, cosy-mystery, England, dog, amateur-sleuth******First her father died in a auto crash and inherited the hotel, then her estranged husband was poisoned, then she met the retired DCI who ran the nearby pub and needed help with the large dog who had crashed into his life (and he was a cat person). This is just the beginning! Imogen knows things she hasn't told her new friend or the police but just didn't know their importance but it really makes her look guilty. Especially when Adam twigs onto the fact that her dad's death was no accident. And then there is the cold case that never got much police attention. I loved this book and think that it marks the beginning of a fun new series!I requested and received a free ebook copy from Boldwood Books via NetGalley. Thank you!!
