Death at Bramble Manor: A Heather and Bramble Village Mystery
Heather & Bramble looks like the sort of village where nothing worse happens than overbaked sponge, parish gossip, and the occasional disagreement over flower arrangements.
Clara Finch knows better.
Recently returned to her childhood home after the war, Clara is trying to settle quietly back into village life. But quiet is not a thing Heather & Bramble does particularly well - especially when Mayor Gerald Winton collapses during the annual f te at Bramble Manor.
At first, everyone assumes the heat, his age, or his fondness for good living has finally caught up with him. But Clara is an ex-army nurse, and she knows what a failing body looks like.
This was no natural death.
As Inspector Vale begins asking questions, Clara finds herself drawn into a village full of secrets, old grudges, missing evidence, and suspiciously nervous neighbours. The mayor had been preparing to announce a scheme that could change Heather & Bramble forever - threatening homes, shops, livelihoods, and reputations.
The Post Office.
The chippy.
The florist.
The gift shop.
Even Clara's own family home.
Almost everyone had a reason to stop him speaking.
And in Heather & Bramble, people do not always need a knife when there is tea, gossip, and a little bottle marked poison.
Perfect for fans of classic British cosy mysteries, village secrets, amateur sleuths, post-war settings, sharp older women, manor house murders, and murder served with cake.
Buy now and step into Heather & Bramble - where the cottages are charming, the tea is hot, and the neighbours are absolutely hiding something.
