Whodunit Cozy Mystery
A dead body in the koi pond of the Twigsledge Flower Show is nothing unusual for amateur sleuth Ida Johnston who is vacationing in the English village where the show is being held. ☕ She’s sure she can solve the crime before afternoon tea, especially since she already has her first suspect – the strange cat-attracting woman who is vacationing in the cottage next to her. 🐱
Elspeth Whipple is no slouch when it comes to solving murders, either. 🔍 It hasn’t escaped her notice that the strange scone-stealing woman in the cottage next to her doesn’t seem to be disturbed by the body. Could that be because the woman put it there? 😱
When their amateur sleuthing puts them on the radar of the local police, the two women are forced to team up in order to clear their names. 😅 Finding the killer is no easy task, however, especially when the entire village had reason to want the victim dead. 🎭
This stand-alone mystery combines characters from the Mystic Notch Cozy Mystery Series and the Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery Series and is perfect for fans of Miss Marple, Midsomer Murders and Murder She Wrote. 🌸
What you’re getting: Leighann Dobbs delivers a delightful cozy mystery crossover that brings together amateur sleuths Ida Johnston and Elspeth Whipple, who each suspect the other of murder at an English flower show, forcing them to team up to solve a crime where everyone in the village had motive. Perfect for fans of Miss Marple-style mysteries with British charm, suspicious sleuths, and bodies in koi ponds!
