17. Vegetables and Vengeance
Julia South-Brown is busy. Between trying for a baby, having her adopted daughter move out, renovating her beloved cafe, and training for the annual Peridale marathon, she doesn’t have much time for anything, especially solving the recent murder of local farmer, Ted Coleman. Despite Peridale Farm only being just up the lane from Julia’s cottage, she doesn’t know much about the reclusive Coleman family, which is why she’s happy to take a backseat. But, when Ted’s young widow, Denise, turns up on Julia’s doorstep begging for help, she finds it impossible to turn the fragile woman away. Ted’s three sons and ex-wife are making Denise’s life a living hell. Everyone thinks she murdered her husband to claim ownership of the farm, and she needs Julia’s help to prove her innocence. With death bringing out the worst sides of everyone in the Coleman family, Julia soon finds herself in over her head. Who stabbed Ted Coleman in the back with a knife during a family party, and more importantly, why? Can Julia sift through the family lies to find out the truth, and can she trust the widow who begged for her help? With her own personal family problems stacking up, Julia finds it difficult to discover a balance, but does she have it in her to walk away from one of her most difficult cases?
18. Cheesecake and Confusion
When Julia South-Brown agreed to babysit her little brother at Peridale Manor, she didn’t expect to get caught up in the middle of a burglary, but that is precisely what happened. As horrifying an incident as it was, however, it soon becomes another problem to add to the ever-growing pile. With Julia’s husband having book trouble, her adopted daughter having boy trouble, her father and stepmother having money trouble, and her own life-changing news, she has her hands full without a mystery to solve. It feels like everyone in Julia’s family has received bad news, but despite all this, she can’t stand by and watch her father struggle as a result of the robbery. She promises to help him, but are any of the people on the list of names he gives her connected or has she been sent on a fool’s errand?
19. Brownies and Bloodshed
Dot South and Percy Cropper are finally getting married! With a secret theme up their sleeves, the octogenarians are intent on making the day the most spectacular wedding Peridale has ever seen. They planned everything to the last detail, but they didn’t prepare for Percy’s cruel older brother’s murder in the middle of the wedding reception. The responsibility to solve Ian Cropper’s murder falls on Julia South-Brown’s shoulders, but her grandmother’s ruined wedding isn’t the only thing she has on her plate. Her bankrupt father, stepmother, and baby brother are living in her small cottage and wreaking havoc, her husband is heading down a surprising new career path, and to top it all off, she’s ten-weeks pregnant and struggling with her mood and bladder. The local gossips all point their fingers at Percy, but with the whole Cropper family in the village for the event, Julia has more than enough suspects to prove her new grandfather’s innocence, even if she isn’t the only one on the case. Who is the mysterious and handsome American sniffing around the village in the wake of Ian’s murder, and can he be trusted? Everyone in the Cropper family has a clear motive for wanting Ian dead, but can Julia pinpoint the culprit before her newly gained family falls apart beyond repair?
20. Cocktails and Cowardice
Julia’s memories of her great-aunt Minnie Harlow are vague at best. Despite annual birthday and Christmas cards throughout her childhood, Julia has never actually met the glamorous former model and actress, so she was more than a little surprised to find out her great-aunt was alive and well and living in the south of Spain. Her surprise only grew when her gran, Dot, informed her that Minnie’s boutique hotel, La Casa, which she ran with her daughter, Lisa, would be the stunning location of their much anticipated joint honeymoon along with Barker and Percy. Halfway through her pregnancy, Julia was looking forward to the sun, sea, alcohol-free sangria, and hopefully no sleuthing, and she also couldn’t wait to get to know her distant relatives. But their reunion and honeymoon quickly take a turn for the worse when they arrive in the gorgeous town of Savega nestled in the tree-covered mountains. Savega has secrets, and Julia can smell them. Why is Minnie terrified of leaving her hotel? Why is Lisa pressuring her mother to sell? A ransom note, a stabbing, and suspected gang activity set Julia, and her private investigator husband, Barker, on their hardest and most personal case yet. Will they ever get to have the honeymoon they deserve?
