FEAR IN THE COTSWOLDS: Book 7

Mystery People said, 'For the lover of cosy crime, this is a series to look for - the plot thickens up nicely, with plenty of red herrings.' Following a string of disastrous house-sitting assignments, and an equally troubled personal life, Thea Osborne is understandably apprehensive about her latest commission: a wintry month in an isolated house with only an assortment of animals including her loyal spaniel Hepzie for company. With the summer lushness of the Cotswolds turned icy grey, Thea spends her first few days exploring the beautiful hamlet of Hampnett, meeting some of the locals. But then the weather turns extreme, and so do events. When she stumbles across a man lying dead in a snow covered field, Thea finds herself once again at the heart of a mystery. A book to bring back memories of harsh winters, one to curl with in front of the fire, a cosy crime novel with a different twist. 319 page paperback.
