A Bookish Puzzle (The Chiltern Hills Mysteries #2)

Previously published as Jigsaw

The little town of Buckford may be brimful of charm, with its quaint cobbles and bustling market. But it’s not without its dark side . . .

Rona’s in town, researching local tales and forgotten histories for a brand-new book. The townsfolk are happy to reminisce with her.

Except for frail old Edna Rosebury. There’s a secret weighing on her conscience. Something she saw one night and can’t forget.

A midnight tryst between a cheating couple. Edna kept it to herself, for the sake of a child she can’t — or won’t — name.

Is it a real memory — or just a figment of Edna’s wild imagination?

The deeper Rona digs, the more she fears it all links back to not one, but two mysterious local deaths.

A young girl, killed in a tragic accident, and a man stabbed in cold blood outside the King’s Head pub.

As Rona races to piece together the puzzle, a third victim drops dead on the streets of Buckford.

Someone out there is trying to erase every trace of their guilty secret. Including Rona herself?
