Murder at Hawthorne Manor

By Liz Gillham

A Traditional British Village Cosy Mystery

When Belle takes Dixie, her lively Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, for an early morning walk through the familiar grounds of Hawthorn Manor, she expects nothing more alarming than muddy paws and a bit of village gossip. But when Dixie discovers a single abandoned glove lying where it should not be, Belle's curiosity leads her deep into the Hawthorne Manor estate - and to a discovery that will shake the whole village.

Hidden among the quiet paths and flowerbeds is the body of Margaret Hawthorne, the manor's owner.

As news spreads through the close-knit village, whispers begin behind cottage doors, in the village shop, and across the green. Everyone seems to have a theory, but Belle knows this village too well to believe the truth will be simple. With Dixie's nose for trouble and Belle's determination to ask the questions others avoid, the pair begin to uncover long-buried family secrets, old resentments, and lies hidden behind the grand walls of Hawthorn Manor.

But when suspicion falls on people Belle knows, one thing becomes frighteningly clear - someone in the village is willing to kill to keep the past buried.

Can Belle and Dixie uncover the truth before the killer strikes again?
