Blurb
When Thea Osborne agrees at the last minute to house-sit for Oliver Meadows as a favour to her mother, she expects a few days of peace with her spaniel, Hepzie. Uncomfortable with the news of her mother's sudden involvement with an old flame, and Thea herself unsure of how to deal with her feelings for Drew Slocombe, she hopes that some time alone in the historic town of Winchcombe will help to clear her head. But, as usual, Thea quickly finds herself at the centre of a dark mystery when she discovers a dead body in the gardens of the house.

Guilt in the Cotswolds
Trouble in the Cotswolds
The Diabolical Baron
Another gentle, low-heat English story with village manners and no explicit content, though here the puzzle is courtship rather than a corpse.
The fallen kings
Keeps the English setting and family entanglements Thea navigates, but trades a tidy cozy puzzle for heavier wartime grief across generations.
Joyride
Shares the quiet slow-burn hesitancy of Thea's stalled feelings, moved to a modern American teen setting with family loss rather than murder.
Of Neptune
For readers who enjoy the ongoing will-they-won't-they thread, though this swaps sleepy Cotswolds villages for undersea fantasy and a love triangle.
