The Body in the Kitchen Garden

"Miss Marple for the 21st Century." ―S.J. Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot

It's a glorious spring in the idyllic English village of Pudding Corner. Tea is poured, secrets simmer, gardens hide more than just weeds--and for newcomer and vintage aficionado Daphne Brewster, murder is blooming once again . . .

Pudding Corner is abuzz: the enigmatic Lord Hugh Darlington has returned to his crumbling ancestral home after years away. With his fianc嶪, he plans to revive the grand Darlington Hall--and who better to help than antiques-hunting Daphne Brewster?

Daphne is enchanted by the estate's stained-glass windows, regal turrets, and sprawling kitchen garden. But amidst the overgrown greenery, she stumbles upon something far less picturesque: a body. A body that no one can identify.

As the shocking murder rocks the village, Daphne dusts off her sleuthing skills--despite the local PC's warnings to stay out of trouble. When Lord Darlington is attacked and a string of burglaries shakes Pudding Corner, it's clear that no one is safe.

With secrets buried deep and loyalties more tangled than ivy, Daphne must unearth the truth . . . before the killer strikes again.

Wickedly witty and brimming with twists as sharp as a pair of antique shears, The Body in the Kitchen Garden is a cozy crime page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very last clue is uncovered.
