And Then There Was The One

In a quaint village in the Cotswolds, Georgiana Radcliffe has accidentally become an amateur detective after helping solve four murders in a single year. When the chairman of the village council turns up dead, everyone accepts the official ruling of a heart attack, but Georgie can’t help believing the council chairman was a fifth victim. Now murder tourists flock from around the country in hopes of becoming sleuths themselves.

Along with her reporter friend, she reaches out to a famous London detective for help in discovering why they have become a magnet for murder. The detective is too busy—or can’t be bothered—to assist, and instead dispatches his secretary, Sebastian Fletcher-Ford—a posh womanizer who, truthfully, is just trying to get out of his hair, much to practical, no-nonsense Georgie’s dismay. As they investigate in the charming Buncombe-upon-Woolly—with plentiful scones, sheep on the village green, and murder tourists at every turn—Georgie finds that her previous assessment of Sebastian may have been wrong, and rather than solving a murder, she may be solving for love instead.

From Martha Waters, the author of the Regency Vows series, a new historical romance set in 1930s England with a murder mystery twist.
