<p><strong>In the sleepy village of Over Hampton lies a small cottage with a picture-perfect garden&hellip; but inside the ivy-covered walls a woman is dead on the bathroom floor.</strong></p><p>The warm summer weather is giving <strong>Sukey Reynolds</strong> a chance to enjoy the stunning English countryside around her new home. She has met a handsome local journalist and there might be a new romance on the cards.</p><p>Everything is quiet at work too. So when the village doctor calls saying he is sure there is something fishy about one of his patients&rsquo; deaths Sukey follows up his claims. Well-liked and kindly <strong>Adelaide</strong> <strong>Minchin</strong> was found by her milkman and appears to have died in a fall. Sukey can find no evidence to the contrary but promises the doctor she will keep his theory in mind.</p><p>Meanwhile the police force is suddenly very busy after two young girls go missing in the very same village. It&rsquo;s all hands on deck to bring them home safely but as Sukey investigates the last place the girls were seen she realises it was very close to Adelaide&rsquo;s cottage&hellip; Is it possible that the cases are linked?</p><p>Sukey&rsquo;s colleagues are not convinced by her hunch so she does some sleuthing in her spare time determined to prove them wrong. In the close-knit village she has no shortage of possible suspects: was it the benevolent builders the frazzled new father or the muddled milkman&hellip;? <strong>And can she find the real culprit and bring the girls back home before any more innocent lives are lost?</strong></p><p><strong>An absolutely unputdownable one-sitting read perfect for fans of Agatha Christie Faith Martin and Joy Ellis! </strong></p><p>This book was previously published as<em> Miss Minchin Dies</em>.</p><p><strong>What readers are saying about&nbsp;Betty Rowlands:</strong></p><p>&lsquo;<strong>Riveting</strong> <strong>can&#39;t put it down!</strong> I <strong>love</strong> this story&hellip; a <strong>wonderfully twisted</strong> tale of a crime that has <strong>more twists than I thought possible</strong>... <strong>fantastic</strong>.&rsquo; Goodreads Reviewer <strong>5 stars </strong></p><p>&lsquo;<strong>OMG</strong>&nbsp;I loved this book!&nbsp;<strong>A proper whodunnit</strong>&nbsp;with great characters and a&nbsp;<strong>fabulous</strong>&nbsp;plot.
