Ascension Sunday balloons are not the only things disappearing in
the English village of Aidan Kirkwood. When the villagers celebrate
the first Ascension Sunday Processional in fifty years, someone
goes missing. A well off widow who was amongst the crowd has
vanished into thin air. And she's not the only one who's nowhere to
be found. Berdie Elliott, the local vicar's wife, goes into sleuth
mode as eccentric cat lovers, a secretive informant, Portuguese
holidays, an enigmatic "tree" house, and tangled family dynamics
all add to the perplexing affair.
As the season of Pentecost approaches, Berdie Elliott's husband,
the vicar for the Aidan Kirkwood village prepares for the Whitsun
Long Weekend Regatta boat race. But one amongst them is in a van
explosion that puts Berdie right in it. The shock of the blast
sends her whirling and when the Yard arrives, fingers point to a
profiled suspect that ignites village fears. Who would think that
business vans, one heroic dog, mistaken identity, an evocative
book, and enduring friendships could help solve the crime? Berdie
must recapture her investigative brilliance, sift the ashes, and
ascertain who is responsible. Will the enigma of fire be laid bare?
This mystery sizzles.
Who would guess that a simple Advent wreath would light the way to
solving a Christmastide mystery in a small English village? Well,
when Berdie Elliott-the local vicar's wife and former investigative
reporter-gets the scent, anything can happen. Though Berdie's
husband often disapproves, her divine gift of sorting truth from
lies puts her in the stew. Along with her best friend, Lillie,
Berdie unwraps far more than Christmas presents when an Advent
gathering at the vicarage goes awry, and murder rocks the village.
Lively newcomers, secret identities, a clandestine wedding, and a
dissenting constable add to the adventure of unraveling the mystery
that Berdie-to the delight of the entire village-finally ties up
like a bright Christmas bow. Tea and biscuits anyone?
A Lenten sod turning ceremony for a new water feature in the back
garden of St. Aidan of the Wood Parish Church goes utterly
pear-shaped when the upturned soil reveals a human skeleton. With
Berdie Elliott at the helm, the whole of Aidan Kirkwood digs into
the mystery. When the bones held life, just who was this person?
Who is the mysterious contessa who arrives on the garden scene? And
what does the young and beautiful Robin Derbyshire's wedding have
to do with the grave? Unearth the answers in this fun spring romp.
