Book 1 in the Beryl and Edwina Mystery series.
When Beryl Helliwell moves in with Edwina Davenport, the village rumour mill in Warmsley Parva is working overtime. Beryl is a wealthy American adventuress known for her daring feats and travels, while Edwina is a respectable Englishwoman who never ventures outside the village. With Beryl’s arrival, a rumour of the two of them being secret agents is spread through the village like wildfire.
On the surface Warmsley Parva seems like any boring, peaceful village, but as Beryl and Edwina begin to dig into the story of a young woman from the Women’s Land Army at the Wallingford Estate who disappeared two years earlier, they discover that several of the villagers have something to hide, and that someone has a secret so dangerous that they are willing to kill to keep it hidden.
With the help of Simpkins the gardener, Beryl and Edwina investigate the events that took place at the Wallingford Estate during the Great War. But they soon find that someone is determined to stop them from learning the truth about what happened. Can the two of them solve the mystery before they end up as the next victims?
A fun, light, cozy mystery in a quaint historical setting.
