Publisher's summary

When Thea Osborne agrees at the last minute to house-sit for Oliver Meadows, she expects a few days of peace. Uncomfortable with her mother's sudden involvement with an old flame, and unsure of how to deal with her feelings for Drew Slocombe, Thea hopes that some time alone will help to clear her head. But with the disturbing discovery of a dead body in the gardens, she finds herself at the heart of a mystery.

Thea must work quickly to unravel the secrets kept by Oliver Meadows and his brother, Fraser, and discover exactly what lies beneath the surface of their turbulent relationship. Amidst the chaos caused by the investigation, will Thea find time to deal with her own problems?

Lovely, no sex, wonderful British English.

Narrator is great. Could picture every scene. So nicely written. No soppy romance... good characters. Apparently there were prior books. I might get those too.

Dog lovers beware

I have enjoyed Rebecxa Topes books. She almost lost me when 2 dogs her character was taking care of were shot and killed. I took a break but came back thinking surely she wont kill off other dogs. wrong. a golden retriever puppy squished by a horse trailer. Really? I get foreshadowing and symbology . I majored in Southern Literature. I did not expect to find this in a cosy mystery. No matter how talented a writer she is I cannot be entertained or enlightened by a puppy's death, even fictional. I wish i could erase the book from my mind. I have lost a few dogs tragically , my latest being exactly a year ago. I might be more sensitive than a lot of dog lovers. This book has affected me to the point of cancelling plans for the rest of the day. Narration was great as usual
