The Missing Heirloom Mystery

DISCOVER YOUR NEW FAVOURITE AMATEUR SLEUTH SERIES. A QUIRKY MURDER MYSTERY SET IN THE SLEEPY SOMERSET TOWN OF KINGSLEIGH.

Finders keepers, losers . . . Dead? 

Checkout girl Bea Jordan has a knack for stumbling into trouble. Even so, nothing can ruin her picnic in the allotment with her best friend, green-thumbed Ant. 

With the annual Kingsleigh Flower and Produce Show approaching, she feels he’s had little time for her. Especially with the drama of a prize-winning tomato thief on the loose. 

But a grizzly discovery is waiting for them by the pumpkin patch . . . 

The body of Dylan Bradley, their old history teacher. Someone stuck a trowel in his head and left him for dead. 

But who would want to hurt Dylan? Bea has a feeling it has something to do with the ruby ring he dug up in the allotment. 

Then the discovery of a second body throws the townsfolk into full-blown turmoil. Now Bea must juggle small-town secrets, rivalries and murder with her growing feelings for Ant. 

Can she dig up the truth before the killer strikes again, or has Bea finally planted the seed for her own demise? 

AN ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING COZY MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS AND LOVEABLE CHARACTERS. 

Meet the workers of Kingsleigh Costsave. There’s Bea, a maths whizz with a heart of gold. Ant, a hapless high-school drop-out. And wisecracking Dot, in her late fifties and always beautifully coiffed.
