The Sister’s Plot: A Hazeling Road Mystery

Roz Fenwick thought she knew everything about the aunt who raised her. She was wrong. Days before Little Hazeling's Christmas market, a stranger arrives asking after a name Roz has never once heard, a great-aunt who vanished from the village in disgrace fifty years ago and was never spoken of again. When one of the last people alive who remembers the truth is found dead days later, an old fire and an old silence turn out to be very much a live and present danger. Between a wassailing tradition nobody quite remembers properly, a marrow rivalry with nothing at all to hide this time, and a family secret sealed, unopened, in her own aunt's attic for fifty years, Roz has to decide how much of the past is hers to dig up, and what it costs the people she loves most to finally let it go. The Sister's Plot is Book Three in the Hazeling Road Mysteries, a warm, witty, allotment-set cozy mystery series for readers who love quiet English villages at Christmastime, quirky casts, and murders that never get graphic.
