Looking for a gripping murder mystery with a feisty female sleuth? Discover this bestselling English cozy series set in the beautiful Cotswolds.

Meet Thea Osborne — dog walker, housesitter, and solver of puzzling crimes.

Recently widowed Thea suspects three weeks’ housesitting in the sleepy Cotswold village of Duntisbourne Abbots might prove a little dull. But her first night’s sleep is broken by a piercing scream. It’s only a fox, she thinks, and rolls over back to sleep.

The next morning, out walking the dogs, something catches her eye. A half-submerged body floating in the brook, still wearing his Wellington boots.

A tragic accident it would appear. But then Thea discovers that the body of the victim’s brother was discovered just ten weeks ago. In the same field.

Thea and her trusty spaniel Hepzibah must track down a brutal killer before any more deaths disturb this peaceful corner of the Cotswolds.

Fans of Stella Cameron, J.R. Ellis, Agatha Christie, Clare Chase, Frances Evesham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin will devour this gripping cozy mystery.

THE AMATEUR SLEUTH
Meet Thea Osborne, aged forty-two. She has been a widow for a year, after her husband Carl was killed in a car accident.

She has a devoted cocker spaniel named Hepzibah, and a daughter named Jessica, who is a police probationer.
