A Bookish Twist (The Chiltern Hills Mysteries #6)

Previously published as Next Door to Murder

Cozy up with a cup of tea and discover an utterly irresistible mystery, set amid England’s picture-perfect Chiltern Hills.

Rona Parish is a feisty biographer with a talent for digging up murder and mystery wherever she goes — with Gus, the adorable Golden Retriever trotting loyally at her heels!

Rona thinks she can read her new neighbours like a book. But there’s a shocking twist in their tale — and even Rona won’t see it coming!

Barbara and Keith Franks — the frosty pensioners next door — are not ones for chit chat. When Rona meets them at the garden gate, their manners leave a lot to be desired. They don’t even bother to introduce their grown-up daughter, Louise. A pale and nervy waif who never ventures out because of her health. Poor thing.

Until, Louise chases after Rona and Gus on a walk one day, to beg for Rona’s help.

Louise has lost all her memories in a terrible car crash. She’s desperate to reclaim her past. But with no family photos or records to go on — in a stroke of bad luck, they were all lost in a mysterious fire — she’s beginning to doubt everything her parents have ever told her.

If they even are her parents . . .
