Summary

When Thomas Kanka returns home for a family meeting, he expects a discussion about his late father’s estate. Instead, his mother reveals the family cottage has been robbed, and among the missing items is his father's last manuscript. The family’s reaction is mixed: while his brother Steve and their father's agent, Dennis, see the theft as a potential marketing opportunity, Thomas suspects a deeper deception.
 
Amidst the snow-covered landscape of their past, Thomas and his mother wrestle with the manuscript's fate, caught between honoring a legacy and preserving family secrets.

    Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

Wedding bells are ringing in the picturesque village of Bunburry with the community coming together in joyful celebration. But the festive atmosphere takes a dark turn when the home of Rakesh Choudhury, the respected owner of Bunburry's popular Indian restaurant, is viciously attacked. As whispers of racism ripple through the tight-knit community, tensions rise. Who could have committed such a heinous act? Is the attack a targeted hate crime, or is something more sinister at play? There is an official police investigation, but amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister believes there are other jealousies and hidden grudges at play. Is he the only one who can uncover the truth?

    Spain, 1936. A democracy shattered. Loyalties divided. Chaos reigns. 
In the gripping fourth installment of The Addlestone Chronicles, British secret agents James and Louise Harcourt-Heath, along with Donald and Beatrice Hutchinson, venture into the heart of a nation engulfed by civil war. Their mission: to discreetly observe and report on a conflict that threatens not only Spain but the stability of all Europe. 
As battles rage between the democratically elected Republicans and General Franco’s insurgent Nationalists, the agents find themselves navigating a landscape of deception, danger, and political intrigue. Britain’s official neutrality masks a deep unease over the potential repercussions: a fascist victory in Spain could tip the entire continent into darkness and threaten critical British territories, including Gibraltar. 
Brimming with vivid historical detail and relentless suspense, this novel brings the tense political landscape of 1930s Europe dramatically to life. As echoes of the past resound ominously in our modern political climate, readers will be compelled to ask: Could history be repeating itself?

Footprints in the snow outside the house tell Holmes that the banker's niece had conspired with a blackguard to steal the coronet; Arthur had discovered the crime in progress and the coronet had been damaged during his struggle to prevent it being stolen. He had refused to tell his father the truth of the crime because of his love for his cousin.
