A FUN AUTUMNAL BRITISH VILLAGE COSY MYSTERY PACKED WITH TWISTS AND TURNS!
There’s a woman in the garden…
Candle shop owner, Claire Harris, loves everything about Halloween, from the crisp autumn nights to the movies, music, and costumes. Her latest toffee apple candle captures the spooky season’s magic in one jar, and according to her best friend and co-worker, Damon, the candle is a ‘one sniff sensation.’ If only the shop had more customers to test that theory…
But the lack of shoppers in Northash’s chilly square becomes the least of Claire’s worries. Her elderly neighbour, Mrs Beaton, has always been an enigma, no more so than when she’s found wandering around in her nightie delivering a simple message. There’s a woman in the garden. And it doesn’t take long for Claire to find that woman, Valerie Skelton, in a freshly dug grave amongst Mrs Beaton’s weeds.
The answers to who buried the woman take Claire down a secret tunnel hidden under the village, all the way back to a 1977 wedding day tragedy where Valerie’s sister, Melanie, died under similarly confusing circumstances. And the woman in the garden isn’t the only mystery Claire finds herself unravelling. Where have Northash’s shoppers gone, what happened at that wedding in 1977 to result in the murder of two women decades apart, and just who is Mrs Beaton?
THE DETECTIVE – Claire Harris, daughter of a retired detective inspector, runs her dream candle shop in a quaint British village. Surrounded by gossiping villagers, tight-knit friends, and loyal family, Claire, in her mid-thirties, can’t help sleuthing when strange things happen on her doorstep…
Book 6 in the Claire’s Candles Cozy Mystery series! Can be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed better as part of the series. A light, cozy mystery with a candle-loving British amateur female sleuth, in a small village setting with quirky characters. Written in British English. No cliffhanger, swearing, gore or graphic scenes! Contains mild peril.
