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.

Blood In The Cotswolds
Trouble in the Cotswolds
Her Private Avenger
Same wrongly-accused-husband puzzle and small-town suspects, but told as a steamy, violent romantic suspense rather than a gentle village mystery.
Mollie on the Shore
Another English small-community story thick with buried family secrets, though it's a period saga driven by class and grief instead of a murder case.
Rookhurst Hall
Amateur sleuthing pair digging into an old house's hidden history, like the Thea-and-Drew teamwork, but gentler with no corpse and a quiet romance.
A Million Junes
Small-town secrets and long-hidden family wrongs unravel here too, though it's lyrical YA magical realism steeped in grief rather than crime.
