Murder at Church Lodge - A completely gripping British cozy mystery

'Maisie Cooper is a brilliant main character, an everyday Miss Marple!... I love cosy crime and I loved this book!' Reader review ????? Maisie Cooper is no detective, thank you very much. But she might just solve a murder... Maisie left the picture-perfect village of Framlington years ago. But when her brother Stephen asks for her help out of the blue she soon finds herself back among the windy lanes and open green fields.
But it's not the family reunion she hoped for - upon arrival she learns that she's too late. Stephen is dead. And not just dead - murdered. Frustrated by the slow police investigation headed up by handsome Sergeant Wingard, Maisie determines to start asking questions herself. But the longer Maisie stays, and the deeper she digs, the more she begins to sense something sinister at the heart of the village.
What secrets are the residents so desperate to keep hidden? And what exactly was her brother going to tell her before his mysterious demise? And when another death rocks the community, Maisie fears that she needs to catch the killer before they catch her... Everyone loves Murder at Church Lodge:'Fans of Osman are in for a treat!'
