Mystery on Hidden Lane
When Bernard Fitzpatrick drowns in a river close to his home, the village mourns a tragic accident⦠and amateur sleuth Eve Mallow is on the case.
Obituary writer Eve is looking forward to her new assignment, as well as spending a few days in the sweet little village of Saxford St Peter, walking the country lanes with her beloved dachshund Gus. But it turns out that itβs Bernardβs death that sheβll need to investigate, not his life. On the day she arrives, news breaks that the world-famous cellist was the victim of a grisly murder. Could this quaint English village be hiding a dark secret?
As Eve starts to interview Bernardβs friends and colleagues, she finds that heβd ruffled more than a few feathers. In fact, from the landlords of the Cross Keys Inn to his own seemingly devoted secretary, thereβs barely a person in town who doesnβt have some reason to hate himβ¦ is one of the friendly villagers really a cold-blooded killer?
Eve hoped Saxford St Peter would be the perfect escape from her busy city life. But there is darkness even in the most sunlit of settings. And when a second body is found, Eve realises sheβs spoken to every single suspect. Her notebook contains all the clues she needs. But will she be able to crack the case and identify themβ¦ before they realise sheβs on their trail and make her their next target?
Mystery at Apple Tree Cottage
Obituary writer and amateur sleuth Eve Mallow is enjoying life in sleepy Saxford St Peter β until a mysterious murder lands right at her doorβ¦
Itβs spring in Saxford St Peter β time to get back in the garden, listen to the birds, and take gentle strolls in the woods. But for some, itβs the season for murder.
Eve Mallow is relishing the gentle pace of the village until a new arrival stirs everyone up. Ashton Foley is back: a teenage tearaway turned interior designer to the stars. Heβs mad, bad and dangerous to know, but charming too β as Eve herself can testify β and every house in Saxford opens its doors to him.
So when heβs found murdered in the woods near his motherβs home, Apple Tree Cottage, thereβs no shortage of suspects. A jealous husband? A spurned lover? Or has someone from his past life caught up with him?
The police soon hit on a simple solution, and arrest his motherβs partner Howard. Ashton always hated him, and he bears all the marks of a recent fight. But Ashtonβs mother, miles away in New Zealand, is convinced heβs innocent, and enlists Eveβs help to prove it.
Thereβs just one problem. Eve saw Howard sniffing around Apple Tree Cottage on the morning of the murder, and sheβs fairly sure heβs guilty, tooβ¦
Mystery at Seagrave Hall
Itβs Eve Mallowβs first visit to the fair at Seagrave Hall. But amidst the booths, stalls, tables and tents lurks something darkerβ¦ A mysterious fall means a new case for amateur detective Eve!
The charity fair at Seagrave Hall is a key date in the Saxford St Peter calendar β a chance for the villagers to nose around the house and grounds and cross paths with the rich and famous.
New resident Eve Mallow is particularly excited by this yearβs special guest: the explorer Verity Nye, engaged to the heir to the Hall. Eve loves Verityβs determination, and she canβt wait to meet her.
But when they talk, Verity hints that she has something troubling on her mind. So after the festive mood is tragically interrupted by Verityβs fall from a third-floor window, Eve canβt be sure that itβs an appalling accident. Especially when one small boy claims he saw someone behind herβ¦
Soon Eve finds herself tasked with writing Verityβs obituary. As she dusts off her notebook and begins her interviews alongside her trusted dachshund sidekick Gus she realises she has a fine array of suspects before her. Could it be a corrupt charity manager, the distraught fiancΓ©, or jealous cousin Cora? And can Eve find out before her questions cause the killer to turn on her?
Mystery at the Old Mill
When the calm of Saxford St Peter is disrupted by a deadly fire at the Old Mill, amateur sleuth Eve Mallow finds herself investigating a most surprising mystery!
Everyone in Saxford St Peter is desperate to get to know Harry Tennant, the charming newcomer who owns the Old Mill, particularly Eve Mallow. He keeps himself to himself, and Eve is sure heβs hiding somethingβ¦ When Harry invites the whole village round for drinks, she canβt wait to find out more.
But two days before the party, a terrible fire sweeps through the mill, and Harry is found dead. When Eve passes the burned remains of his beautiful house, she canβt resist the call to investigate. Especially when it turns out Harry was living a double life as the famous advice writer Pippa Longford, and several of the villagers wrote letters to him. Eve has to wonder what confidences her neighbours sharedβ¦ and whether one of them was worth killing for.
Accompanied by her reliable dachshund sidekick Gus, Eve starts digging. She soon realises Harry was at the centre of a web of lives β and lies. Thereβs an angry uncle desperate to inherit, an unhappy woman he didnβt want to marry, not to mention all the people who told him their darkest secrets. Was one of them much closer to home than Harry knew? And can Eve untangle the truth before she finds herself face to face with a killer?
Mystery at the Abbey Hotel
Eve Mallowβs stay at the luxurious Abbey Hotel takes a turn for the suspicious when the owner is murdered β leaving Eve surrounded by suspects!
Saxford St Peter is Eve Mallowβs beloved home, but she canβt resist the chance to spend a weekend in the nearby Abbey Hotel, famed for its glamorous owner Debra Moran and an array of celebrity guests. For a confirmed people-watcher like Eve, itβs perfect: she can observe the rich and famous while sipping tea in the gardens, her faithful dachshund Gus by her side.
But her relaxing break takes a shocking turn when Debra is found lying dead in the shadowy woods around the hotel. One of Eveβs fellow guests didnβt come to the Abbey for fine food and delightful dΓ©cor β but to kill.
When the investigation gets underway, Eve finds herself trapped with a wide range of suspects. Could it be Debraβs new friend Harper, who inherits everything? Her ex-husband Chester, still seething over their messy divorce? Or her estranged sister Amelia, who came hoping for reconciliation, only for Debra to shut the door in her face?
As Eve roams the hotel, searching for clues and hunting down alibis, she uncovers a whole host of secrets. But can she find the truth before the killer brings her holiday to a deadly end?
Mystery at the Church
When a TV drama crew descends on sleepy Saxford St Peter, Eve Mallow joins the excited throng of extras in a funeral scene. But then a real body is found⦠and Eve gets a starring role as sleuth!
Eve Mallow is looking forward to her fifteen minutes of fame when Saxford St Peter is chosen as the location for a new drama series. A devoted people-watcher, Eve is thrilled to learn that TV stars are just as glamorous β and tempestuous β as sheβs always imagined.
But then someone delivers a bouquet of poisonous flowers to the director Rufus Beaumont, making Eve worry that some of the rivalries sheβs noticed are deadly serious. And when Rufusβs body is found in the church where the funeral scene took place, itβs clear that someoneβs out for the kill in real life.
Eve and dachshund Gus have been on the ground from the start, and now theyβre on the case, interrogating the suspects one by one. Is it the devastating diva whose relationship with Rufus was far from professional? The cameraman who caught Rufus doing something he shouldnβt? Or the groupie groundskeeper whoβs in the background of every shot? One thingβs for sure β Eve must catch the killer before she stars in their next murderous productionβ¦
