The Murders at Foxglove Close

A Neighbourhood Watch Mystery, Book 1

By: Rose Temple

Narrated by: Penelope Rawlins

If you enjoyed Midsomer Murders, you will love the A Neighbourhood Watch Mystery series. PC Jemima Cotton escapes to Little Cote from London for a quieter life...but she soon discovers she's found the nosiest, and the deadliest, neighbourhood possible.

The sleepy village of Little Cote was meant to be a quieter pace of life for ex-Met PC Jemima Cotton. But she soon discovers, here a petty rivalry can erupt into full-blown murder....

Police Officer Jemima Cotton expected Little Cote to be a quieter pace of life. But, unlike London, everyone knows everyone, and beyond the cake sales and coffee mornings, tea parties and village fetes, the neighbours aren't all the best of friends....

When Jemima is unpacking her mugs and teabags in her new home on Foxglove Close, she's called to attend her first murder investigation. She's excited, until she discovers it's only a few doors down from her. And she hasn't even met her new neighbours yet! As she steps out of her house in full uniform, Jemima can feel the eyes on the back of her neck and she can see the curtains and blinds twitching.

But the crucial question is why did the lonely gentleman at the end of the road get murdered, eating dinner alone at his garden table, tucking into a new bottle of Chablis? As she digs deeper into the murder, Jemima discovers that here in Little Cote, underneath the surface, tensions bubble away...and the smallest vendetta can erupt into full blown murder.

Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Helen Cox, Betty Rowlands and the Midsomer Murders series by Caroline Graham.
