MURDER AT THE POPPY COTTAGE

When Josie Fairleigh delivers a simple tea order to her prickliest neighbor's cottage, she never expects to find the woman dead among her own prize-winning poppies, laid out to look like a tragic accident that never happened.

The village of Meadowbrook Hollow wants a quiet explanation. Josie wants the truth. And the truth, she quickly discovers, is buried in a decades-old land fraud that someone has already killed to protect. As Josie pulls at that thread, the wrong man is arrested, an anonymous warning lands on her own doorstep, and the real killer starts running out of patience with the tea room owner who won't stop asking questions.

With the Flower Show bearing down, an innocent neighbor behind bars, and a killer still walking free among people who trust him, Josie has one chance to see justice done before the case is quietly closed for good.

For fans of cozy mysteries set in charming English villages, this fair-play whodunit features a loyal corgi, a slow-burn romance with the local detective inspector, a basket of fresh-baked scones, and a garden full of secrets. If you enjoy amateur sleuth mysteries with heart, community, and a delightful twist, settle in with a cup of tea and start reading Murder at Poppy Cottage.
