Garden Plot

She only came for the summer. She stayed for the murder.When Nora Calloway inherits her grandmother's cottage in the impossibly charming village of Saltwick Cove, she arrives with two suitcases, a broken engagement, and absolutely no plan. What she finds is a sun-soaked community garden, a cast of wonderfully nosy neighbours — and a body face-down in the prize-winning flower bed.Gerald Finch is dead. The local detective is baffled. And Nora, despite having absolutely no business getting involved, is already asking questions she probably shouldn't.Everyone in Saltwick Cove had a reason to dislike Gerald. The ferociously competitive Vera Hutchins. The suspiciously helpful master gardener Edmund Crowe. The charming marine biologist next door who always seems to know a little too much. As Nora digs deeper — quite literally, trowel in hand — she unearths a secret buried thirty years ago: a stolen patent worth millions, a cover-up that reaches the very heart of the garden club, and a cold case that is far too close to home.Because someone in this village killed before. And they're watching every move she makes.Wickedly funny, compulsively readable, and packed with twists that'll make you gasp over your sun lounger, The Garden Plot is the perfect summer mystery for fans of Richard Osman, Holly Jackson, and Janice Hallett. Full of sharp wit, slow-burn romance, and a cast of characters you'll want to move in next door to — just maybe keep your shed locked.Perfect for fans of:• Cosy mystery books with a twist• British village mysteries• Female amateur sleuth fiction• Books set in English countryside• Funny murder mystery novels with heart
