Murder at Badger Brook
(2025)(The eighth book in the Wootton Windmill Mystery series)
A novel by Izzie Harper
Will curiosity be Ellie’s downfall?
Winter is receding in Lower Wootton. Ellie Blix is relieved her daughter's job is settling down, so it's a shock for everyone when Zoe finds a dead body amongst the snowdrops at Badger Brook, while she's rescuing an animal.
The victim has no ID on him. The village rumour mill soon declares he's the homeless man that's been stealing from the corner shop, and lurking around people's barns.
Ellie quickly discovers the dead man was a once-wealthy aristocrat, Marcus Davenport, who went missing after a mysterious car crash ten years ago. But if he was alive until recently, how could his death have been registered a few years after his disappearance?
With no shortage of suspects, Ellie must sift through petty rivalries and village gossip to get to the truth... and find out how a man who was supposed to be dead, has just been killed.
