About the book
Welcome to the picturesque village of Pudding Corner. Tea is being served, secrets are brewing, gardens hold more than meets the eye - and once again, a murder is unfolding...
Pudding Corner is buzzing with excitement as Lord Hugh Darlington has returned to his ancestral home. Together with his fiancée, they aim to restore the Darlington Hall to its former glory - and who better to assist than vintage lover Daphne Brewster?
Daphne is captivated by the estate's beautiful stained-glass windows, majestic turrets, and expansive kitchen garden. However, amidst the lush greenery, she stumbles upon something much less pleasant: a mysterious body that remains unidentified.
As the shocking murder shakes the village, Daphne dusts off her detective skills - despite warnings from the local police to avoid trouble. With Lord Darlington being attacked and a series of burglaries occurring, it's evident that no one is safe.
With deep-seated secrets and complicated loyalties, Daphne must uncover the truth... before the killer strikes once more.
Full of wit and twists sharper than antique shears, The Body in the Kitchen Garden is a captivating cozy mystery that will have you guessing until the final clue is revealed. Perfect for fans of Richard Coles, C.L Miller, and Ian Moore.
