Death In The Cotswolds

Product Description

Thea Osbourne is thanking her lucky stars. After two disastrous housesitting incidents in which she has unwittingly become embroiled in murder & mayhem she is only too happy to have a bit of peace & quiet. The only positive thing that has come out of her experiences she thinks is her blossoming relationship with DI Phil Hollis & she relishes the thought of their spending some quality time together while she helps him clear out his late aunts cottage in the small village in which he grew up. Even meeting Phils childhood acquaintance the eccentric Ariadne with her abrupt manner & queer habits cannot detract from Theas happiness. But the bad luck that plagues the hapless Thea & her beloved spaniel Hepzibah is never far away. With autumn drawing in preparations for Samhain or Halloween are well underway when Ariadne discovers a very tangible reminder of the season of death on Notgrove Barrow: a body laid out like a sacrificial victim. Unlikely companions Thea & Ariadne find themselves thrown together as they try to uncover the events that led to the fatality. It soon becomes apparent that the cosy village has more than its share of secrets. But just how far will some go to keep them hidden...
