A Bookish Clue: A gripping English cozy mystery full of twists (The Chiltern Hills Mysteries Book 3) (English Edition)

‘Clear your calendar . . . for an absorbing search that keeps you guessing until the last chapter.’ Kirkus

Cozy up with a cup of tea and treat yourself to an utterly irresistible mystery, set amid England’s breathtakingly beautiful Chiltern Hills.

Meet Rona Parish, a feisty biographer with a talent for digging up murder and mystery wherever she goes — and Gus, the golden retriever, trotting loyally at her heels!

Rona’s sleuthing skills are earning her quite the reputation. She can’t even go to a cocktail party at her friend’s place, without a decades-old mystery landing in her lap.

Rona is approached by a desperate young woman. Teary-eyed Zara Crane. Zara’s mum, a promising young radio reporter, was murdered in cold blood back when Zara was just a baby. As for the killer? They got away with it scot-free.

Until now . . . ? Zara pleads with Rona to hunt for her mother’s secret boyfriend. A mysterious man, who Zara’s mum would never name.

Rona’s certain he is the key to this baffling mystery.

The deeper she digs, the more she fears the killer is no stranger. But someone dangerously close to Rona and her family.

And they don’t appreciate her snooping one bit . . .

Fans of Faith Martin, M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, the Reverend Richard Coles and Betty Rowlands are sure to be enchanted by these charming mysteries, set in the picture-perfect Chiltern Hills.

Please note, this book was previously published as Persons or Persons Unknown.

MEET THE SLEUTH
Spirited Rona Parish may be happily married — to handsome but noisy illustrator Max — but she won’t give up her independence. To her parents’ dismay, Rona still goes by her maiden name and insists on her own unconventional way of living. Max vacates the couple’s townhouse on weekdays, allowing Rona to write, and sleuth, in peace — without any distractions. Unless you count Gus, her bouncy and devoted golden retriever — and the occasional visit from Rona’s chaotic twin sister, Lindsey.

THE SETTING
Sophisticated Rona loves travel and the occasional jaunt to London. But Marsborough, the town where she was born, is the home she’ll always return to. Somewhere betwixt London and Oxford, nestled in the rolling green Chiltern Hills, Rona knows every street in this market town off by heart. Or so she thinks . . . because there’s far more to sleepy little Marsborough than meets the eye.
