The Case in the Vicarage Gardens (Lady Matilda Investigates Book 1)

A village tea party, a poisoned victim, and a silent killer

When the sleepy village of Little Biddington gathers for its annual tea party at the vicarage, no one expects a murder to mar the festivities—until a body is discovered beneath the garden arbour, an overturned teacup the only clue to the victim’s final moments.

Lady Matilda Farnworth, reluctant society hostess turned amateur sleuth, sets out to sift through the unlikely suspects and uncover the clues to the murderer’s identity.

As she unearths hidden secrets, Matilda begins to suspect that nearly everyone has something to hide—and someone will do anything to keep her from uncovering the truth.

Will her quick wits and a keen eye for detail be enough to unmask the killer before more than just the tea goes cold?
