"I felt like I stepped into the quaint village with friends!" - Amazon Reviewer
THERE'S A BODY IN THE ATTIC...
Claire Harris is excited to get the keys to her candle shop finally. A foul smell coming from the attic, however, turns her excitement into a living nightmare. There, she finds the body of Jane Brindle, the owner of the tearoom, which had stood in the heart of the village for decades. Jane’s eventual retirement at eighty after years of fruitlessly hounding her daughter, Em, to take over the tearoom sent her to the south of France, or so everyone assumed. Jane never left Northash, but nobody is admitting to knowing what happened to her. Accusations fly everywhere, with many fingers pointing at free-spirited Em, and even some at Claire for daring to change the status quo. How did Jane end up dead in the locked attic after having supposedly left the village for a new life under the sun four months previously? How is Jane’s impossibly wealthy 102-year-old mother, Opal, involved? Someone close to Jane killed her, but can Claire find out who before her candle shop dreams crumble around her?
THE DETECTIVE Claire Harris, daughter of a retired detective inspector, runs her dream candle shop in a quaint British village. Surrounded by gossiping villagers, tight-knit friends, and loyal family, Claire, in her mid-thirties, can't help sleuthing when strange things happen on her doorstep...
Book 2 in the Claire's Candles Cozy Mystery series! Can be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed better as part of the series. A light, cozy mystery with a candle-loving British amateur female sleuth, in a small village setting with quirky characters. Written in British English. No cliffhanger, swearing, gore or graphic scenes! Contains mild peril.

Book Review
The beginning was a little slow, but once the intricacies of the mystery came into play then it became a whole other ball game. The layers to this mystery was great and kept me on toes. After a while I needed to know what was going to happen next, so I kept on trucking through. Despite the fact I guessed who it was by the middle, it was still interesting as the puzzle pieces came together. There were just so many connections that I didn’t see coming, but they totally made sense. It became this really satisfying ending by book’s end as the past and present came together and completed the picture. I loved that.
