Description

Introducing unconventional rector s wife and amateur sleuth Jodie Welsh in the first of a brand-new mystery series"
Highflying city career woman Jodie Welsh was prepared for a dramatic change in lifestyle when she met and married the Reverend Theo Welsh, settling down to an entirely new kind of life as the wife of a country vicar in the picturesque village of Lesser Hogben. But if she thought life as a city deal-maker was tough, nothing could have prepared her for the emotional rollercoaster of local church and village politics. As a newcomer, Jodie encounters hostility and disapproval from several of the villagers, particularly in her efforts to engage and assist Lesser Hogben s disaffected youth.
When a local lad Jodie employed to help in her garden disappears, along with Jodie s expensive camera, everyone around her is inclined to assume the worst. Only Jodie and the missing boy s friend Mazza are convinced of his innocence. But Burble s disappearance marks the start of a series of disturbing incidents which escalate in intensity until the body shows up, and Jodie must use her well-honed negotiating and networking skills to unmask a ruthless killer.
