Death Among the Daffodils: A Regency Historical Romance Mystery

By Aviva Orr

A popular, young poet is found dead among the daffodils with his heart cut out. Who could have committed such a heinous crime?

Spring has arrived in the Lake District, and Bridget De Lacey is feeling renewed. After a tumultuous year, filled with loss, murder, and madness, her ancestral home on the shores of Lake Windermere is thriving as an exclusive inn for the wealthy, and her relationship with its new owner, Nate Squires, is blossoming.

The future looks bright for Bridget. Until, early one morning, she steps outside to admire the new bed of blooming daffodils in her garden and makes a horrific discovery. The desecrated body of a young poet, beloved by all, is lying among the flowers. Bridget is devastated by the brutal murder of her friend, but things only get worse when the wrong man is blamed, and the people of her town turn against one of their own.

Bridget and Nate must work quickly to save an innocent man and catch a savage killer. However, as their investigation unfolds, they uncover a web of lies that raises more questions than answers. In the normally peaceful Lake District, tensions rise, violence ensues, and the situation becomes increasingly dangerous as buried secrets surface.

Will Bridget and Nate be able to crack this multilayered case and ensure that justice is served?
