Blood in the Cotswolds, Paperback/Rebecca Tope

Thea Osborne and her faithful spaniel, Hepzie, have taken on a house-sitting assignment in the Cotswold village of Temple Guiting. But as always, an idyllic village can harbour a disquieting number of secrets and when a skeleton is discovered at the roots of an old beech tree, Thea is grateful for the presence of her partner DS Phil Hollis.
