Thea Osborne and her loyal spaniel Hepzie are still pursuing their occupation as house-sitters, despite the disastrous incidents of the past. At the moment they are staying in the late Greta Simmonds' house, which is currently between ownership. But when a body is discovered in a nearby field, Thea finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation once again. After befriending undertaker Drew Slocombe, she soon finds she's aligned herself with the police's only suspect. Believing him to be innocent, Thea works together with Drew to clear his name, although it slowly dawns on them that in a village simmering with secrets, a means and a motive could be laid at anybody's door.

Grave In The Cotswolds
Revenge in the Cotswolds
Landline
Shares the gentle, low-heat tone and domestic focus, but swaps village murder for a warm second-chance marriage story with a time-travel twist.
Attachments
Same clean, no-spice comfort reading, though the puzzle here is a quiet workplace slow burn rather than a whodunit.
Bare necessity
Keeps the English small-community nosiness and humour, but it's a cheekier, spicier romantic comedy instead of a murder plot.
Happiness for beginners
Offers the same cosy village setting and mild content, trading investigation for a lighter, feel-good small-town romance.
