Get four atmospheric village mysteries in one great-value box set:

Folly
Following the breakdown of her marriage, Alex Duggins has returned to the village of Folly-on-Weir in the Cotswolds for a fresh start. But on a wintery walk in the hills above Folly, Alex stumbles across a frosted corpse buried in the snow and finds herself top of the suspect list. Can she clear her name and find the real murderer? Or will Alex be the next snow-covered body to be found in the beautiful hills above the town?

Out Comes the Evil
An almost fresh body is discovered in the disused well of a ruined fourteenth century manor house. The victim was a widow who had lived quietly in Folly-on-Weir for the past ten years. Who on earth could want her dead, and by such brutal means? Once again, amateur detective Alex Duggins and her veterinarian friend Tony Harrison are thrown into a major murder investigation.

Melody of Murder
Village sleuth Alex Duggins hears singing coming from the church and finds herself drawn to a girl’s beautiful voice. Suddenly the singing stops and Alex hears a loud crash. Alex races in and finds the girl sprawled on the floor. She is already dead. Who wanted the girl dead and why? A sly, clever perverted killer is on the loose in the village. Can Alex help stop any more deaths?

Lies that Bind
A woman’s body is found in the woods. No one knows who she is or why she was left in such a dreadful state. Alex Duggins is determined not to get involved—for once. But the person who found the gruesomely mutilated body was young Kyle Gammage, who helps out at Alex’s friend Tony’s veterinary clinic. To protect Kyle and his elder brother, Alex withholds vital information from the police. It’s a misjudgement that will have far-reaching—and possibly fatal—consequences.
