A priceless statue, two mysterious deaths and a missing body… it can only be a case for the antique store detective!
I’m excited to say that book four in the Bella Winter series is out now, on Kindle, in paperback and on Audible.
Here’s the cover:
And here’s the reader description:
Bella Winter is happily settled in Hope Eaton, with her business flourishing: antiques sold and problems solved. So when Margie Fleming approaches her to sell a family heirloom, a beautiful marble statue of a mother and child, Bella jumps at the chance.
But the day before the sale, Margie is found dead: drowned in the river Kite, a year after her older sister Bethan died the same way. Everyone is convinced it’s a tragic accident, but Bella isn’t so sure. One mysterious death might be a coincidence. Two feels a lot like murder…
Bella’s spine tingles when she realises Bethan also had plans for the statue. Could someone have killed to make sure it wasn’t moved? It feels far-fetched… but when they shift the statue, there’s a bloodstain beneath it. Someone is trying to conceal a crime. But who was the victim, and where is the body?
As she investigates the Flemings’ friends and family, Bella becomes convinced the strange graffiti appearing all over Hope Eaton holds answers… Can she paint a clear picture and solve the case, or will she find herself facing a watery end?
If you love armchair sleuthing and sniffing out clues and red herrings to reveal the truth then this book is for you!
Happy reading! x
A flavour of the antique store detective series
The setting and surroundings for the series are fictional, but elements of Hope Eaton are inspired by beautiful Bridgnorth in Shropshire. Most of the photos below were taken there.
