A Whisper In The Leaves

A Deadly Tea, A Hidden Secret, and a Village Full of Lies

A Whisper In The Leaves
A hidden note. A poisoned past. A village steeped in secrets.

When Fiona Bell restores the walls of her beloved Lavender Cup Tea Room in the picturesque Cotswold village of Netherwood, she expects dust, not danger.

But behind a loose panel, she discovers a vintage tea tin containing a cryptic note, one that suggests the decades-old death of the village herbalist, Margaret Thorne, was no accident.

As Fiona begins to unravel the mystery, she finds herself drawn into a web of long-buried secrets, whispered gossip, and carefully guarded reputations. Margaret’s final tea blend, a subtle bitterness no one questioned, and a hidden pattern in old records all point to something far more sinister than a simple mistake.

Someone in Netherwood knew the truth.

Someone covered it up.

And someone is willing to make sure it stays hidden.

When Fiona herself becomes the target of a chillingly familiar poisoning attempt, the past and present collide. Now, with danger steeping closer by the day, she must piece together the clues before the killer serves her the same deadly fate.

Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, and classic British village mysteries, this warm and atmospheric cozy mystery blends charm, suspense, and a dash of herbal intrigue.

In Netherwood, every cup tells a story… but some are meant to stay buried.
