Deadly Whispers in Lower Dimblebrook
(2020)(The first book in the Isabelle Darby cosy village mysteries series)
A novel by Julie Butterfield
Isabelle Darby has escaped a disastrous marriage by moving to the picturesque Cotswold village of Lower Dimblebrook.
She's fallen in love with the winding lanes and quaint thatched cottages, the chattering brook and the trailing fronds of the weeping willow at the bottom of her garden - and of course her neighbour, Madeline, a feisty octogenarian whose teapot is more likely to contain gin fizz than PG tips!
DI Wainwright has been recently promoted and has exchanged the backstreets of Manchester for the tranquillity and charm of cosy villages and a way of life that has changed little over the last few decades – but he can’t wait to get back to inner city crime and real villains!
So, when Fiona Lambourne is found dead in the local car park and the local gossips run riot with their theories, Issie and the DI lock horns over just about every aspect of life in Lower Dimblebrook.
Will the dashing DI catch the murder with cold, hard logic, or will Issie’s impassioned belief that the rumours about her friend are quite wrong win the day?
And will DI Wainwright be able to stop Issie becoming the next victim of the Deadly Whispers in Lower Dimblebrook?
“Move over Agatha Raisin”
“A mystery or two, a little romance and a smile- what more could you ask for? Loved it.”
"Lower Dimblebrook's villagers are wonderfully crafted and soon I was walking along the quaint roads by cottages in the Cotswold with Issie."
“A witty, thrilling and compelling village mystery, Deadly Whispers in Lower Dimblebrook will go down a treat with cosy crime fans.”
“A fantastic read and I likened it to a modern day Nancy Drew with hints of Agatha Raisin”
