Murder at the Gardens

A lovely day out takes a dark turn when a complaining customer is found dead... Luckily amateur sleuth Belinda Penshurst is on the scene - and ready to investigate!

Belinda Penshurst has always loved Brabourne Gardens. A keen animal lover, she enjoys walking its winding paths and listening to the excited squeals of schoolchildren encountering the kind of wildlife you don't normally find in England. So when one of the visitors is found strangled, she's determined to learn whodunnit - and why.

The victim, Simon Carter, had a reputation for making trouble... But surely that's not a good enough reason to want him dead. Together with retired detective Harry Powell, Belinda investigates the goings-on behind the scenes, and learns that some of the staff are more savage than the animals.
Is it Estelle Samuels, the anti-social owner, who clearly has something to hide? Or the security guard who takes his job too seriously? Most worrying of all, Belinda's ex Ivan was there when the body was found, and she's determined to clear his name. As suspicions swirl, one thing's for sure: if Belinda keeps following the killer's tracks, she might find herself in their sights...
Can she sniff out a murderer, before she becomes prey?

A completely unputdownable and charming cozy mystery. Fans of M.C. Beaton, H.Y. Hanna or Emily Organ will love the Belinda Penshurst series!
